A MakerBot Case Study
Seus Corp, a Las Vegas company known for the Minecraft app Skins Creator Pro Editor, wanted to turn user-created skins into physical figurines called EnderToys but faced manufacturing and market-validation challenges. Silicone molding was too labor-intensive, injection molding required about $30,000 and a 10,000-unit minimum, and Seus Corp needed a lower-risk way to prototype and test demand—so they turned to MakerBot and purchased a MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printer.
Using the MakerBot Replicator 2, Seus Corp achieved consistent prints in about two weeks and now reports a better than 99% success rate. The MakerBot-enabled workflow let them spend four months on R&D, avoid costly tooling mistakes (redesigning joints before launch), and scale quickly: Seus Corp now has 11 employees, 20 MakerBot Replicators, runs printers nearly 24/7 (some with more than 4,000 hours), and produces 3,000–5,000 EnderToys per week with high customer satisfaction.
