A Xometry Case Study
Danley Sound Labs, a Georgia-based loudspeaker manufacturer, needed a reliable way to prototype parts for its new generation of loudspeakers. The company's challenge was to test a new horn design before investing in expensive injection molding tooling for mass production. They turned to Xometry's custom 3D printing services to source first-article prototypes.
Xometry implemented a strategic prototyping solution, first using cost-effective FDM 3D printing and then a final, high-resolution SLA 3D printed prototype. This allowed Danley to test fit and refine the design, resulting in a prototype that was extremely similar to the final injection molded part and could even be used to play sound. Partnering with Xometry enabled Danley to bring products to market more quickly and efficiently, providing peace of mind during the production process.
