Case Study: PPI-Time Zero saves 40–50 hours/week and protects high-value motors with 3D Systems' ProJet MJP 2500 and VisiJet ProFlex

PPI-Time Zero Prints High Value Reusable Packaging with ProJet® MJP 2500

PPI-Time Zero, a contract manufacturer serving defense, aerospace, medical and industrial clients, faced a challenge protecting costly motors during solvent cleaning and transit. Manual sealing was slow (up to 30 minutes per motor) and risked damage on large runs, creating quality and labor concerns on high-volume contracts.

Using a ProJet MJP 2500 Plus and 3D Systems’ VisiJet ProFlex (M2G‑DUR), PPI-Time Zero prints low‑modulus, semi‑rigid snap-fit covers that clamp into watertight shells for cleaning and provide reusable impact protection for shipping. The solution cut manual labor by about 40–50 hours per week, sped assembly for damage‑free cleaning, safeguarded motors in transit, and is now being extended to other uses like tool grips.
