Case Study: University of Maryland speeds prototyping and boosts research validity with Stratasys Objet Eden350V

University of Maryland Enhances Research Validity With Objet 3D Printer

The University of Maryland Department of Aerospace Engineering needed a faster, more reliable way to produce large volumes of tiny, 100% identical prototypes to validate repeated experiments. They selected Stratasys' Objet Eden350V 3D Printer for its high resolution, accuracy and durable models to support research in propulsion, composites, hypersonics and UAV design.

Stratasys’ Objet Eden350V was deployed in-house, cutting the prototype development cycle by a full year and delivering roughly $80,000 in annual savings by eliminating outsourced materials and markups. The solution ensured identical test articles for more valid results, sped studies such as insect obstacle-avoidance and samara UAV research, and helped student teams achieve strong competition performance.
