Rapid Prototyping with 3D Printing

The Challenge

The loadbank project required custom hardware components with precise specifications for ergonomics, thermal resistance, and adaptability to the industrial environment.

  • Need for customized PCB supports
  • Containers for sensors in industrial environment
  • Ergonomic case for touch screen remote control
  • Rapid prototyping times for field testing

The Solution

We implemented a rapid prototyping process that includes:

  • Custom 3D design for each component
  • Specific material selection for each use
  • Rapid prototype iteration
  • Immediate field testing

The Results

100%

Component customization

-70%

Prototyping time

90%

Development cost reduction
