Case Study: TH Zipper Company achieves rapid, full-color, highly accurate prototyping and faster lead times with Stratasys J55

How Tai Hing Zipper Factory Company Limited is utilizing Stratasys 3D printing to achieve short product development and fast lead times

TH Zipper Company, a zipper manufacturer with over 40 years’ experience serving global apparel brands, needed extremely accurate, full‑color prototypes and much faster iteration cycles for very small parts. Facing two‑week lead times and costly mold revisions, TH Zipper Company turned to Stratasys and its PolyJet 3D printing (J55) to achieve higher fidelity, color realism and quicker design validation.

Stratasys’ J55 platform and Vero materials (including VeroUltra ClearS) let TH Zipper Company print detailed, full‑color pullers, sliders and accessories in hours and deliver samples within days instead of the previous ~two weeks, cutting iteration time, reducing mold changes and material waste. The Stratasys solution also provided nearly 500,000 color combinations and transparent materials for design troubleshooting, giving TH Zipper Company a competitive edge and opening opportunities for small‑batch production.
