  • Introduction

When Every Design Iteration Costs a Week

In product development, speed usually isn’t limited by good ideas — it’s limited by how fast you can hold the next version in your hand.

This case study looks at how a product design and engineering team brought additive manufacturing in-house with a Formlabs Form 4, replacing a slow, outsourced prototyping loop with same-day SLA 3D printing. The shift touched every part of the team’s engineering workflow — from early concept models to production-ready prototypes.

  • Company Background

A Design Team Racing Against the Calendar

The company designs and develops consumer and industrial hardware products, working across mechanical enclosures, functional fixtures, and consumer-facing components. With multiple concurrent projects and compressed launch timelines, the team’s biggest bottleneck wasn’t ideation — it was how long it took to physically validate a design.
  • The Challenge

Outsourced Prototyping Was Setting the Pace of the Whole Project

Before bringing 3D printing in-house, every physical prototype meant sending a CAD file to an external vendor, waiting days for a quote and production slot, and waiting again for the part to ship back. A single design revision — even a minor one — restarted that entire cycle…
