Case Study: PediaVision achieves up to 6 months faster time-to-market with 3D Systems' On Demand Manufacturing

PediaVision Reduces Product Time-To-Market by up to 6 Months with 3D Printing

PediaVision, a medical device company that developed Spot — a handheld, wireless vision-screening tool for children — faced demand that outpaced traditional manufacturing. The team needed a vendor that could deliver safety-grade materials and production-quality prototypes quickly to bridge the gap between early development and costly hard tooling.

3D Systems’ On Demand Manufacturing (QuickQuote and QuickPlastic cast urethane) delivered production-tolerance prototypes in about 7 days, enabling pre-production testing with real materials. This rapid prototyping compressed PediaVision’s schedule by 3–6 months, reduced tooling risk and cost, and helped Spot move from development to market faster.
