NordicNeuroLab Radically Reduces Time to Market, with Objet 3D Printing - Objet - #2

Text version of the page

“Objet gives us the ability to quickly verify our designs. In turn, this has enabled us to speed up our workflow and create a highly effective trial and error – or test and trial – development and design process. We are seeing a much quicker time to market for our product line,” says Rasmussen. NNL makes full use of the rubber-like properties of the Tango material to evaluate the ergonomics of buttons and controls. It uses FullCure®720 Transparent model material to create translucent models of product shells. With electronics inserted inside the shells, NNL can better understand and identify otherwise unpredictable design flaws. 3D printing that goes beyond modeling Objet 3D printing has helped NNL eliminate errors in the pre-production phase of injection molding. The time to generate molds and the costs that these incur had always been a significant portion of the costs of developing any new NNL product. The ability to check, before production, that the mold is correct saves a lot of hassle and prevents errors in the injection molding process, dramatically reducing overall costs. Additionally, for NNL, the value of Objet models goes far beyond prototyping. “The high accuracy, smooth surfaces and strength of Objet models give us the possibility to use many parts in the end product." explains Rasmussen. The bottom line: faster, more cost effective product development With Objet, NNL is able to cost-effectively engage in rapid prototyping, fully evaluate the ergonomic functionality of their product line and even use the design prototype models in the final products. As a result NNL has dramatically cut its production costs and time to market. info@objet.com www.objet.com Objet Geometries Ltd.
