Case Study: Nabson expedites prototyping and reduces sleeve costs with Sinterit Lisa PRO

Nabson cuts sleeve costs by almost 50% with Sinterit

The customer, Nabson, a manufacturer of ground power cable assemblies for the aviation industry, faced a challenge in developing a protective housing for thermal switches within a severely limited space in their connectors. They needed a solution to expedite prototyping and production. To overcome this, they worked with vendor Sinterit and utilized its Lisa PRO SLS 3D printer.

Sinterit's solution enabled Nabson to rapidly print, test, and modify over 20 prototype designs in-house over a three-week period. The Lisa PRO provided the necessary accuracy for parts with walls as thin as 0.6mm and allowed for overnight production. This resulted in an estimated cost saving of nearly 50% per part compared to outsourcing and the flexibility to make design changes. Nabson has since produced over 1,500 functional sleeves on the printer to keep up with production demand.
