Case Study: Techno achieves faster product development with Stratasys 3D printing

Techno cuts trial and error from a month to a day with Stratasys

Techno, an Italy-based developer of custom connection solutions, faced challenges in accelerating its product development cycles while mitigating the high costs and risks associated with early investment in injection molds. To validate designs faster and produce functional pre-series parts without tooling, the company turned to vendor Stratasys and invested in 3D printing technology, including their Origin® 3D printer and 3D printable silicone materials.

The solution implemented by Stratasys involved integrating additive manufacturing into every stage of Techno's development process. This allowed for rapid design validation, the production of installable pre-series parts, and a significant reduction in risk before mold release. The measurable impact for Techno was substantial, as the vendor's technology enabled innovation cycles to be reduced from months to days and provided a practical bridge to injection molding, all while ensuring parts met final performance requirements.
