Case Study: Hubbardton Forge achieves 30% time savings with Shapr3D

Hubbardton Forge Senior designer achieves 30% time savings getting product to market

Hubbardton Forge, a design and manufacturing company known for decorative lighting and home furnishings, needed a faster way to turn complex ideas into products. Senior designer David Martin had relied on 2D AutoCAD drawings and hand-built models, which made it difficult to communicate design intent, get buy-in, and move concepts efficiently through prototyping and production.

Using Shapr3D on iPad and other devices, David was able to create accurate 3D models, visualize them in AR, and share them more effectively with engineering, prototyping, sales, and leadership. With Shapr3D, Hubbardton Forge launched 30+ products, achieved an estimated 30% time savings in getting products to market, and cut prototype creation enough to realize about 15% cost savings.
