Case Study: One3D speeds automotive lens prototyping with Stratasys Neo800

One3D produces lens prototypes in 3-4 working days with Stratasys

One3D, a Czech Republic service bureau, helps automotive lighting companies innovate by producing lens prototypes. Their challenge was the long lead times and high costs associated with traditional methods like milling plexiglass, which took 3-4 weeks. They turned to vendor Stratasys and its Neo800 stereolithography 3D printer and Somos WaterClear Ultra resin to find a better solution.

The Stratasys solution enabled One3D to 3D print large, transparent lens prototypes in just 3-4 days. This provided immense design freedom and a better cost-per-piece ratio for small series. The measurable impact was a significant reduction in production time from weeks to days, allowing for faster design iterations and positioning One3D as a leader in the automotive sector.
