Case Study: Slicelab achieves rapid, customizable high-impact snowboard bindings with the Stratasys Origin One

Customized snowboard bindings made possible with Stratasys Origin One’s cutting-edge printing capabilities and extensive material catalog

Slicelab, together with f=f design studio, faced the challenge of creating customizable, swappable snowboard high backs that deliver tailored flexibility, impact resistance and low weight—features unachievable with traditional injection molding and required a printer that could handle tall prints with extreme overhangs and a very fast turnaround. To meet this need they selected Stratasys and its Origin One production printer for its high-speed P3™ technology and broad materials catalog.

Stratasys used the Origin One and worked with Henkel Loctite’s IND 3172 material to 3D print a lattice-reinforced high back that required only a single support, conserved 57.96 grams of material, and moved from CAD to clipped-in in under 14 hours. The result from Stratasys was a lightweight, high-impact part with comparable cost to injection molding, reduced shipping time, and real-world validation at Breckenridge where the high backs performed as intended.
