Case Study: Lonypack achieves 70% lower part costs and faster lead times with UltiMaker 3D printing

Lonypack - Customer Case Study

The customer, Lonypack, is a food packaging company with a state-of-the-art plant in Spain. Their challenge was to optimize their production process by creating customized components for their boning, slicing, and packaging lines in a more economical and self-sufficient way, while also ensuring all parts were safe for food contact.

The vendor, UltiMaker, provided a solution through its S5 3D printers and a partnership with Kimya for food-safe PETG-S filament. This allowed Lonypack to 3D print parts like cutting edges and picker combs. The results were a 70% savings on the cost of parts and a 70% reduction in lead times, significantly increasing their operational efficiency and supply chain resilience.
