Case Study: Multinational Company streamlines internal prototyping with DigiFabster

In-house rapid prototyper at multi-billion dollar company leveraged DigiFabster for superior efficiency

Multinational Company, a $13.7 billion multinational designer and manufacturer of power tools, outdoor equipment, hand tools, and floor care appliances, needed a better way to manage internal rapid prototyping requests. Their process was fragmented across emails and manual quoting, making order intake disorganized, communication inefficient, and cost reporting unclear for upper management.

DigiFabster implemented its ecommerce and instant quote functionality as an internal ordering system, creating self-service “storefronts” for multiple manufacturing technologies and enabling stakeholders to track jobs in real time. With DigiFabster, the shop centralized requests, reduced quote and communication time, and generated detailed financial reports that clearly showed the value of keeping prototyping in-house. The team was able to manage 20,000 parts annually with just three people while improving budgeting, ROI reporting, and equipment planning.
