1. The Requirement
Tier-1 automotive supplier needed 50 functional sensor brackets for immediate fleet testing.
2. The Bottleneck
Injection molding tooling would take 4 weeks and cost $4,000 for a preliminary design.
3. Technology Selection
APJ engineers selected MJF PA12 for its isotropic strength and rapid batch manufacturing capabilities.
4. Batch Production
All 50 brackets were nested and printed in a single 18-hour build cycle.
5. Delivered
Fully functional, dimensionally accurate parts delivered in 4 days at 1/10th the tooling cost.
