Case Study: Decathlon achieves faster product development and cost savings with 3D Systems Figure 4

Decathlon Sharpens Competitive Edge with Figure 4 Speed, Precision, & Versatility

Decathlon, the world’s largest sporting goods retailer, needed to cut development timelines and optimize its supply chain to accelerate innovation and lower product costs. To do this the company turned to 3D Systems and its Figure 4 platform, deploying the Figure 4 Modular system and Figure 4 materials within Decathlon’s internal ADDLAB to speed prototyping and in-house part production.

3D Systems’ Figure 4 solution delivered fast, precise, production-grade parts and versatile material options (including Figure 4 HI TEMP 300-AMB for mold masters), enabling Decathlon to produce functional parts in hours and reduce mold master timelines from about one month to two days. The result was faster time-to-market, lower development costs, and broader R&D capability across applications—from bike components to grips—driven by 3D Systems’ speed, accuracy, and material portfolio.
