Case Study: Center for Advanced Design achieves faster prototyping and design iteration with Stratasys F370 3D printing

Center for Advanced Design prints 70-90% of fixtures with Stratasys

The Center for Advanced Design (CAD), a product development firm, needed to accelerate the development of complex plastic components for clients in the power sports industry. Their challenge was to refine ideas and validate designs with speed to meet tight customer deadlines. To address this, they implemented the Stratasys F370 3D printer with GrabCAD Print software.

By using the Stratasys solution, CAD gained the ability to rapidly produce high-quality, accurate prototypes. This allowed them to fail fast, iterate designs overnight, and test multiple concepts quickly. The solution also enabled them to 3D print large, custom assembly fixtures, saving significant time compared to traditional CNC machining. The result was a streamlined workflow, considerable time and cost savings, and an enhanced ability to deliver complex projects on schedule for their clients.
