Case Study: Harman Becker Automotive Systems achieves rapid, high-spec prototyping with Stratasys Dimension 3D Printer

Harman Becker Automotive Systems - Customer Case Study

Harman Becker Automotive Systems, a specialist loudspeaker producer for in‑car entertainment, faced tight design and prototyping timelines while needing high‑quality, aesthetically precise parts. To avoid 7–10 day delays from external suppliers and meet stringent client fit‑and‑finish requirements, Harman Becker adopted Stratasys’ Dimension 3D Printer to bring rapid prototyping in‑house.

Stratasys’ Dimension 3D Printer, running 24/7, produced robust, high‑quality functional models in hours instead of days, allowing trial‑fit parts to be mounted in vehicles, reviewed and signed off far faster. The Stratasys solution boosted productivity and competitiveness, improved margins and efficiencies, cut prototyping lead time from about a week to hours, and — by Harman Becker’s account — paid for itself within weeks.
