Saving Magnum Enterprises Over $15K in Prototyping, Injection Molding Costs

Saving Magnum Enterprises Over $15K in Prototyping, Injection Molding Costs

Product catalog summary
Introduction: Dan Smith, owner of Magnum Enterprises, faced a challenge when his injection molding company misplaced a mold without a technical drawing for recreation. He turned to B9Creations for a solution.
Problem: The loss of a mold and absence of technical drawings posed a significant issue for Magnum Enterprises, potentially leading to high costs and delays in production.
Solution: B9Creations utilized their B9 Scan 350 to reverse engineer the missing part. Within 24 hours, they scanned the part, capturing essential geometries, and created a working file. This allowed for rapid prototyping using their 3D printer.
Process: The B9 Scan 350 scanned the part in 5 minutes, and iterations were 3D printed with rapid prototyping resin for design verification. This process continued until an exact replica of the original piece was achieved.
Benefits: The quick turnaround and ability to iterate designs saved time, materials, and money. Dan was able to perfect the piece before committing to expensive tooling, avoiding the need for additional molds and saving over $15,000.
Conclusion: B9Creations provided a cost-effective and efficient solution, enabling Dan to finalize his design and proceed with mold creation confidently. The digital capabilities of B9Creations' technology allowed for precise prototyping and significant cost savings.

Saving Magnum Enterprises Over $15K in Prototyping, Injection Molding Costs-1

Saving Magnum Enterprises Over $15K in Prototyping, Injection Molding Costs When Dan Smith, owner of Magnum Enterprises, LLC., went to the injection molding company that had been creating his plastic parts for years, he never expected that they would misplace one of his molds and have no technical drawing to recreate it. So Dan came to B9Creations. And within 24 hours, had a nearly perfect copy of his parts scanned with the B9 Scan 350 and printed on a B9 Core Series. Using the B9 Scan 350's reverse engineering capabilities, he scanned the piece in 5 minutes capturing the geometries important to the original models, created a working file, and 3D printed iterations with our rapid prototyping resin for design verification until they had an exact replica of the original piece. And now with his new technical drawing, Dan can easily tweak the piece, recreate the injection mold, or even change and prototype the piece to create a new design. Because of the extremely quick turnaround time and ability to easily iterate on the design, Dan saved time, materials, and money, perfecting the piece before sending it off to be tooled for tens of thousands of dollars. "Before you have a toolmaker start cutting metal on a mold and drilling cavities and things like that, you want to have your part perfect. So you don't have to go back and make another mold and spend another $15,000. “That’s the benefit of a company like B9Creations – their 3D scanner has the ability to turn your part into digital information that can be utilized in their 3D printer to make prototypes and samples. And through running through a few variations of your samples, I was able to get my part to where I wanted it – to where it was perfect. And now I can go off to a tool maker and get my new mold made. So, B9Creations, hats off to you guys. You saved
