Case Study: My Track Technology achieves faster, lower-cost vehicle production with Shapeways 3D printing

My Track Technology saves 6 months and $70K with ShapeWays

My Track Technology, an eco-friendly electric remote-controlled vehicle manufacturer, needed to produce strong, end-use ready parts for their all-terrain machine while cutting substantial time and costs in their production process. They partnered with Shapeways to utilize their 3D printing services, primarily SLS with Nylon PA12, for rapid prototyping and manufacturing.

By using Shapeways, My Track Technology was able to rapidly prototype designs and print robust parts that resist the elements, saving at least six months in production time for a crucial military test. Shapeways' solution also resulted in significant cost savings, avoiding an estimated $70,000 in mold costs for a startup that could not gamble on unproven designs. The vendor's technology provided the quality, precision, and strength required for the final product.
