Case Study: Diversified Plastics accelerates prototype mold production with Stratasys 3D printing

Diversified Plastics cuts prototype mold time from 5 weeks to 5 days with Stratasys

Diversified Plastics, a custom injection molder, faced a challenge where its customers needed expensive and time-consuming metal molds for prototyping, a process that could take weeks. To help these customers get to market faster, Diversified Plastics invested in an Objet260 Connex 3D printer from vendor Stratasys.

By using the Stratasys 3D printing solution, the company could print mold components in days instead of weeks. This allowed for rapid prototyping and early design testing. For a specific project with customer Coloplast, the solution resulted in an 88% cost savings and an 80% reduction in time compared to traditional metal mold methods.
