Case Study: a German OEM slashes prototyping time with Shapr3D

a German OEM slashes XR prototype presentations from 2 weeks to 2 hours with Shapr3D

The German OEM faced significant challenges in its automotive design process, including inefficient workflows, delayed prototyping due to static presentations and complex VR setups, and bottlenecks caused by fragmented toolsets and excessive engineering dependencies. To eliminate these inefficiencies and meet its rigorous development cycle, the company adopted Shapr3D.

By implementing Shapr3D, the OEM transformed its operations, using it as a central link in its design ecosystem. The solution enabled rapid prototyping with XR integration, immersive high-fidelity presentations, democratized 3D modeling, and the elimination of engineering bottlenecks. The results were substantial: XR prototype review time dropped from two weeks to two hours, presentation preparation time was reduced from 16 hours to 2 hours, and engineering time spent on corrections was eliminated entirely. Shapr3D provided a 10x improvement in team productivity and streamlined collaboration, slashing weeks off the prototyping process.
