Case Study: Rapid Application Group doubles production capacity and speeds high-quality part delivery with 3D Systems' Figure 4 Standalone

Rapid Application Group Doubles Capacity with Figure 4™ Standalone

Rapid Application Group is a veteran‑owned, full‑production additive manufacturing service bureau in Broken Arrow, OK, founded in 2017 by Terry Hill. Serving oil & gas, motorsports, healthcare and aerospace clients, the rapidly growing shop needed a cost‑effective way to boost capacity and speed‑to‑market while preserving injection‑mold quality and tight repeatability.

They implemented 3D Systems’ Figure 4 Standalone with 3D Sprint software and Figure 4 TOUGH‑GRY 15 material, which doubled production capacity and paid for itself within months. The system delivers six‑sigma repeatability, injection‑mold‑like surface finish, and drastically shorter cycle times (parts in 30–45 minutes vs. more than seven hours), while 3D Sprint streamlines file repair and fleet workflows—enabling faster quotes, easier operator training, and wins like a sole‑source medical device contract.
