Case Study: Goodsmith creates a revolutionary horseshoe with Protolabs

Goodsmith GmbH has produced a new kind of horseshoe with Protolabs

Goodsmith GmbH, a developer of innovative horseshoes, faced the challenge of creating a flexible, production-quality prototype for their new product without the high cost and commitment of a traditional injection molding tool. They turned to the manufacturing services of Protolabs to bring their design to life for real-world testing.

Protolabs provided high-quality injection-molded plastic parts directly from Goodsmith's 3D model, offering valuable design advice and a rapid turnaround of just 15 days. This allowed Goodsmith to quickly iterate on their design based on user feedback and launch an extensive test series. The success of the prototypes enabled them to secure positive customer reactions, plan for a production run of 20-30 thousand units with Protolabs, and pursue further investment and expansion.
