Customer Demand: A certain
electric tool R&D company from China needed to quickly verify the structural design of a new type of electric tool shell and internal components, requiring high structural strength, good impact resistance, using nylon material, and completing 1 set of R&D verification sample within 3 days, to accelerate the R&D iteration process and avoid design defects in mass production.
Solution: JITMFG adopted
SLS 3D printing technology, selected high-performance nylon material with excellent impact resistance and structural stability, leveraged the process’s advantage of no support and integrated molding to realize the one-step forming of the tool shell and internal components, avoiding assembly errors caused by split processing. We optimized the printing parameters to ensure the sample’s dimensional accuracy is consistent with the design drawings, completed sample verification within 1 day, and delivered the 1 set of sample within 2 days, ahead of the customer’s R&D schedule.
Cooperation Value: Compared to traditional
CNC machining (which takes 7 days and costs 4,000 yuan for 1 set of R&D sample), the SLS process shortened the R&D verification cycle by 71% (completed in 2 days) and reduced R&D costs by 30% (only 1,500 yuan). The nylon material sample perfectly simulated the structural performance of the final production parts, helping the customer quickly verify the rationality of the structural design, find and modify design defects in advance, and shorten the overall R&D cycle of the new electric tool by 30%.
