A MakerBot Case Study
All Axis Robotics, a Dallas-based turnkey machine shop specializing in custom robotic automation and end-effectors, faced slow, costly production of bespoke brackets, fixtures and gripper fingers that were difficult or impossible to machine. To solve this bottleneck they adopted the MakerBot METHOD manufacturing workstation (including METHOD X capabilities) to enable in-house 3D printing of custom tooling parts.
MakerBot’s METHOD allowed All Axis Robotics to cut lead times from months to hours, produce stronger single-piece parts using production-grade ABS and SR-30 soluble supports, and eliminate expensive machinist time and material costs—delivering parts that fit on the first try and freeing personnel for higher-value work. The result: higher production efficiency, new 3D-printed product lines for customers, and a clear competitive advantage—what the company contrasts as a $6,500 MakerBot METHOD keeping their million-dollar machines running.
