Case Study: Bushnell achieves true-to-CAD, overnight high-detail optics prototyping with 3D Systems ProJet MJP 2500

Bushnell Verifies High Detail Optics Designs with 3D Systems ProJet MJP 2500

Bushnell, a 70‑year leader in sporting optics, needed a faster, more cost‑effective way to verify small, high‑tolerance components. Machining provided the required accuracy but was slow and expensive, creating weeks‑or‑months delays that hampered design iteration and development.

Bushnell adopted a 3D Systems workflow centered on the ProJet MJP 2500 with VisiJet M2R material, 3D Sprint software and the MJP EasyClean system, producing true‑to‑CAD, high‑resolution parts. The change delivered overnight design verification instead of multiweek waits, significant prototyping cost savings, repeatable fine‑detail prints and added value across multiple departments.
