Slashing costs, improving performance: Medical device development and manufacturing with the Stratasys Origin One
Case Study: Enventys Partners, a full-service, turnkey product launch agency, delivered end-use biocompatible devices, while avoiding the long lead time, high costs and design constraints of injection molding or CNC machining by printing with the Stratasys Origin One.
Producing Lightweight, Durable Robot Parts on Stratasys Origin One
Ghost Robotics™ produces four-legged autonomous unmanned robots with all-terrain stability that can operate in almost any environment. These quadruped robots are size-scalable, ultra-agile, high-endurance, and easy to program. Simple mechanical systems increase the robots’ durability, agility, and endurance. The robots’ modular design supports the efficient field swapping of any sub-assembly.
Challenge
Ghost Robotics needed to produce lightweight, durable parts, with a cosmetic surface finish, for its Spirit™ Series robot.
- The team needed to stay agile, shipping units to customers while maintaining the ability to iterate designs based on customers’ feedback.
- Injection molded parts and CNC machined parts were cost-prohibitive, had long lead times, and could not be easily iterated on.
- The company considered other 3D printing methods as a solution, but the parts weren’t isotropic the mechanical properties weren’t strong enough; and the surface quality was too rough for the parts to be given to customers.
Ongoing sustainment for aging aircraft components
The U.S. Air Force increasingly faces sustainment challenges, including cost, speed, and supply chain agility, when using traditional manufacturing methods to maintain aging aircraft components. The department often seeks innovative engineering solutions to keep aircraft aloft and to modernize the fleet. In 2020, they hosted an open competition to quickly find new and creative 3D printing solutions for the C3175 family of hydraulic line clamps. Thousands of these clamps are used in the Air Force’s F-16 aircraft, in areas like landing gear cavities, and they frequently fail after extended exposure to vibration, environmental chemicals, and heat cycling. Historically, these clamps have been injection molded or CNC machined from a phenolic material that off-gases toxic formaldehyde.

InterPRO Helps Distek Serve More Customers with 3D Printed Adapters
InterPRO Additive Manufacturing Group, a service bureau, started as a 3D printing prototyping company and is seeing growth in production applications due to advancements in 3D print technology and materials. InterPRO’s client Distek, a leading manufacturer of laboratory testing instruments for the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, asked InterPRO to help them manufacture a motor adapter that would allow prospective customers to use Distek’s technology with customers’ existing motors. InterPRO used Stratasys’ Origin® One’s next-generation 3D printing hardware and software to print parts compatible with Distek’s bioreactor and their client’s devices. The parts had injection molded-like strength, consistency, and durability. The surface finish had an impressive, consumer-grade look and feel.
Distek’s challenge was to produce a motor adapter compatible with their proprietary bioreactor and their clients’ motors. However, the adapter design wasn’t easily manufacturable by CNC machining, injection molding, or even cast urethane. In addition, the company needed a fast turnaround to meet immediate customer needs for various adapter sizes in low volumes. High up-front tooling costs, long lead times, and low-volume demand ruled out traditional methods. As a result, InterPRO turned to 3D printing as a possible solution.
