[Case Study] Production Equipment Manufacturer Company P
Achieving low cost and short delivery times! It has become possible to produce prototypes until you are satisfied.
At Company P, a manufacturer of production machinery, over 100 parts are required to create a single product. Each part's prototype is outsourced, and it takes a long process involving the creation of simple molds, shaping with metal, and then fine-tuning through machining, resulting in a lead time of 1 to 1.5 months for the completion of prototypes. Therefore, we decided to utilize the 3D printer already owned by the company along with our casting machine to produce prototypes in-house. The block mold method reduces the time required by about 90% compared to traditional casting methods that use molds, and since there is no need for mold costs, it achieves low costs. [Background] - Prototypes for each part were outsourced. - The lead time for completing prototypes was 1 to 1.5 months. - Significant costs were incurred for creating molds for each part, leading to challenges with costs and lead times every time improvements were made. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
