Case Study: Valiant TMS achieves 78% cost savings and 79% faster print time with Stratasys Origin One

P3 Technology Use Case For Auto A-Pillar Latch Tool Handle

Valiant Tms, a developer of intelligent production automation systems for automotive and aircraft manufacturers, needed a new hand tool to attach auto A‑pillar door latches that combined ergonomics, strength and minimal weight with a very smooth, defect‑free surface finish. To meet these requirements, Valiant Tms turned to Stratasys and its Origin One 3D printer using P3 digital light processing and the high‑toughness Dura56 photopolymer.

Stratasys produced the A‑pillar latch tool on the Origin One, delivering an injection‑mold‑like surface finish, greater isotropic strength and comfortable ergonomics for repetitive assembly work. The solution reduced costs by 78% and cut print time by 79% versus other additive processes, while providing the impact toughness and smooth grip Valiant Tms required.
