Estimating
Sales/Marketing
Research
Engineering
Documentation
Sales & Marketing– Create models before they
are manufactured to help sell the concept
– Use for demos, trade shows or as samples
– Create different textures
Application: Concept Modeling
Ergonomic Studies– Create rigid and soft feel
products
– Create different textures on your models
– The ability to create 1:1 scale models for accurate ergonomic studies
Architectural Design– Create models faster than
traditional methods
– Modular parts so model can be easily changed
– Stronger, with no distortion
Functioning Parts– Moving parts, Gears,
Levers & Joints
– Create Plugs & Seals
– Create Living Hinges, Gaskets & Hoses
Application: Physical Testing
Accurate look and feel– Over Molding & Double
Injection Process
– Labeling, Texture & Imprint
– Shock Absorption & Impact Resistance
Coating Parts– Coat rigid material with
flexible material
– Specific touch-and-feel properties
Bonding & Gluing– For parts too large for a
single build
– Faster builds with less support material
– For parts with finer features, sectioning and bonding parts is a great solution.
Application: Presentation
Electroplating– Give plastic parts a metallic
finish
– The metallic looking parts will be lightweight
– Legacy Effects created the iconic Iron Man suit using this technique
Sanding & Painting– Apply different colours
– PolyJet material accepts paint without the need for polishing or sanding
– Get the exact look of the finished product.
Jigs & Fixtures– Lead times reduced by 40% to
80%
– Cost reduced by 70% to 95%
– Eliminate assembly and improve performance and accuracy.
– Design freedom for improved function and ergonomics.
Application: Molding & Tooling
Blow and Injection Molding– Lead time reduced by 30% to 70%
– Prototype mold cost reduced by 40% to 80%
– Stability, eliminating distortion with heat.
– Durability through hundreds of cycles.
– Little or no need for post processing.
Silicone Molding– Lead time reduced 50% to 80%
– Cost reduced by 40% to 75%
– Inert models won’t inhibit curing
– Models won’t distort with heat
– Durable models that can be used many times
Rapid Deployment– After design stage
manufacturing can begin immediately
– Simply send your design to your production system
Application: Manufacturing End-use Parts
Low capital expenditure– Traditional manufacturing
methods demand tools and dies that are expensive
– No need for tooling, initial manufacturing cost is dramatically reduced
Unlimited Complexity– Anything that a designer can
creates can be manufactured
– This promotes product innovation and design optimization
Canadian owned and operated since 1997
Form Fit Function: Ducati
Problem: Needed time-to-marked reduction– Engine: 28 months to design & build– Majority of prototypes were outsourced
Solution: Fortus for in-house prototypes– 2 alternate prototype engines built– Nearly all from polycarbonate
Results: Decreased design errors– Engine designed and built in 8 months– Time to market reduced by 71%
Process TimeUsing a service bureau 28 months
Using Fortus in-house 8 months
Savings 20 months (71%)
Canadian owned and operated since 1997
Sales & Marketing: Polaris
Problem: Prototypes go through many revisions resulting in high costs. Input from customers needed to inform design changes.
Solution: Stratsys Fortus FDM– Create functional prototypes without the cost of
tooling.– High accuracy for proper fit with production
components.
Results:– Toolings savings of $60,000 per year– Faster to market– Working samples for focus groups = better product
“Because FDM can produce accurate functional prototypes, we avoid about $60,000 in tooling cost per part. Every time we avoid cutting a tool, we save 8 to 12 weeks”
Canadian owned and operated since 1997
Jigs & Fixtures: Oreck
Problem: Expensive and long lead times to create their coordinate measuring machines– 40-50 assembly fixtures required per product– Made by molding and casting
Solution: 3D print fixtures– Fixtures produced in-house– Holds tolerances of 0.003 inch
Results: Large cost savings – Reduced downtime– Typical cost reduced by $65,000– Fixture components quickly replaced– Manufacturing process is re-started faster– Machine paid for itself in a few projects
Process Cost EstimateTraditional molding & casting
$100,000
Direct digital manufacturing
$45,0000
Savings $65,000 (65%)

Canadian owned and operated since 1997
Jigs & Fixtures: Automotive
Problem: Tooling needed to position badges– Expensive for low volume production– Steel tools are heavy - ergonomics– New model year = new tooling
Solution: 3D print jigs– Fixtures produced in-house– Weight reduction of 75%
Results: Large cost savings – Weight reduction of 75%– Reduced costs 70%– Easier on the cars
Canadian owned and operated since 1997
End Use Parts: Sheppard Air Force Base
Problem: Creating one-of-a-kind or low volume parts with traditional manufacturing was too expensive and time consuming
Solution: 3D Production with Fortus– Able to print multiple parts simultaneously – Ability to implement design changes immediately
and at minimal costs.
Results: Faster Production– Printing the UAV’s large antenna in about one-tenth
the time – Versatility versus injection molding
“3D Printing has saved the US government over $3.8 million to date with an expected 10-to-15-year savings of over $15 million.”
