BRINGING IDEAS TO LIFE

FEATURING THE STRATASYS J750 MULTI-MATERIAL 3D PRINTER

Charles Evans | Stratasys Application Engineer

OUR PRESENTER

Bringing an idea to life can be hard to communicate

But when you show people your idea… they get it.

That’s easy, just show all of your ideas… right?

$ $ $

Won’t that be expensive and delay the process?

Prototype creation can be:

• Very costly
• Time consuming
• Expensive and cause delays when changes are needed
• Risk of intellectual property being compromised

Model doesn’t accurately represent the final product:

• Wrong material
• Minimal detail
• Color not an accurate match

Prototype is not accurate enough to:

• Make design and manufacturing decisions
• Convey or demonstrate its advantages and uniqueness

Complicated designs can be hard to make through traditional manufacturing

TODAY’S PROTOTYPING CHALLENGES

“70% to 90% of total project costs are determined during the early stages of the development process.”

(Bhimani and Mulder 2001, Shehab and Abdalla 2001).

What if there was a better way?

THERE IS A BETTER WAY

THE MOST REALISTIC MODELS IN THE 3D PRINTING INDUSTRY

The most VERSATILE system “One system to cover all

• ur application needs.”

The most realistic models in the 3D printing industry “For the first time, we can produce full color, life-like, plastic models” The highest EASE-OF-USE “Our designers quickly picked up PolyJet Studio and have been producing their own prototypes with great ease.”

Prototype creation can be: – economical – completed in a matter of hours vs. days or weeks – easily and quickly modified – created in-house Model accurately represents the final product: – created in the final product material – high detail – high product realism Prototype is accurate enough to: – Make design and manufacturing decisions – Convey or demonstrate its advantages and uniqueness Complicated designs are possible

these prototypes Fast print times and high accuracy

• More prototypes in design translates to less

revisions in tooling or production

Proprietary prototypes ordering system

• Allows the designer to order parts in various

materials or design variations

• Technicians can prioritize and create exactly

what the designers want

• Textures, finishes, colors, materials and

quantity Designers translate the Stratasys material into the part material by experience

• Gauge snap tension or holster engagement to

the overall user experience

OtterBox, the #1 supplier of smartphone cases in the US. CHALLENGE: The rapidly changing and competitive technology industry has OtterBox continually working to create protective phone cases for the latest phone versions. Traditional methods of prototyping were not time-efficient and could not keep up with the necessary 1500 molds that might be required for a new case. SOLUTION: Stratasys J750 3D Printer BENEFITS:

• Making a prototype went from 3 days to 1-3 hours – up to 12 iterations a day
• Enables double and triple checking of key precision points on the case
• Able to get product in hands of decision makers quickly
• Huge cost and time savings
• Can create prototypes exact size, shape and color

OTTERBOX | CONSUMER PRODUCTS PROTOTYPES SHORTENS DESIGN CYCLE FROM 26 WEEKS TO 8 WEEKS

For an industry as exacting as smartphone covers, where a few extra millimeters of plastic might render phone features unusable, these iterations are key to success.

WHAT STRATASYS J750 USERS ARE SAYING

Curator, marine biologist and Cornell professor Drew Harvell, had a vision to share Leopold & Rudolf Blaschka’s beautiful (and scientifically significant) glass models with the vast portion of the world that can’t see them in person. CHALLENGE: Replicating old, complex, fragile artifacts SOLUTION: Stratasys J750 3D Printer BENEFITS:

• File was directly imported into the new PolyJet Studio™ on the Stratasys J750

and 3D printed as-is

• Superior color rendition without resorting to post-processing techniques like

sanding and painting

• No post-processing beyond support material removal
• Artifact now beautifully mimicked in a durable 3D print that can be easily

transported and handled safely

CORNELL UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR | MUSEUM MODELS PRESERVING HISTORIC ARTIFACTS

The first test print is of Blaschka’s 2-inch squid sculpture, that’s over 130 years old. It is now beautifully mimicked in a durable 3D print that can be easily transported and handled safely.

SYNERGY | CONSUMER PRODUCT PROTOTYPES REINVENTING INVENTION

“Now our customers can make instant decisions about the ergonomics of a product − about the touch and feel − as well as test how it fits into its environment.”

Tamar Fleisher , Synergy art director

Synergy is an R&D center for product development, specializing in consumer products, providing industrial design, engineering, rapid prototyping services. CHALLENGE: Very competitive industry, critical to be creative and provide the most realistic prototype, but this involved a lot of outsourced subcontractors to accomplish SOLUTON: Stratasys J750 3D Printer BENEFITS

• A single print eliminates the need to outsource:
• CNC machining
• Water printing
• Casting
• Sanding
• Silicone Engraving
• Pad printing
• Time was cut from two weeks to a few hours
• Cost of prototype was cut by over 70%
• Customers able to make accurate decisions specializing in consumer products

LaGuardia Studio at New York University (NYU) is leading in innovative design. A centralized high-end 3D printing studio services the entire NYU community, including students, professors, staff, researchers and alumni. CHALLENGE: Create models that help guide surgeons in the operating room, and help patients gain a better understanding of their care SOLUTION: Stratasys J750 3D Printer BENEFITS:

• Create actual patient models and use the models for pre-surgical planning or intra-operative guidance
• Better visualization into patient anatomy via full-color, patient-specific models, which can lead

to more specialized and better care

• Use the 3D models to teach medical students and residents about patient-specific

anatomy and pathology

• Drive education and innovation at the university, while developing coursework around the

technology as it emerges

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE | MEDICAL MODELS PUSHING THE LIMITS

“You can be the best surgeon in the world, but still having a 3D model is very useful. It provides guidance and allows for a more successful comprehensive surgery. The surgeons I work with tell me that planning with a 3D model saves time in the operating room, which ultimately improves patient outcomes.” Nicole Wake, Sackler Institute of Graduate Biomedical Sciences, New York University School of Medicine
