Consumer Product 3D Printing Applications

Get Better Products in Consumers' Hands Faster with Stratasys

Consumer brands are under constant pressure to move quickly, control costs, and deliver products that stand out. From full-color, multi-material concept models to custom small-batch production and direct-to-textile design, Stratasys helps product teams respond faster without waiting on traditional tooling.

Industrial Design & Concept Modeling

Turn early ideas into realistic, review-ready models that stakeholders can see, feel, and evaluate sooner. With Stratasys PolyJet technology, industrial design teams can create full-color, multi-material concept models that simulate color, material, finish, texture, transparency, and flexibility in a single model.

Best Fit Technology:

PolyJet: Leverage full color and multiple materials for highly realistic concept modeling.

Benefits:

  • Reduce manual work on full-color, multi-material models to reduce time by up to 75% and costs by up to 85%.
  • Validate aesthetics, ergonomics, proportions, and CMF decisions earlier in the design cycle.

Form & Fit Prototyping

De-risk assemblies before hard tooling by printing prototypes that design teams can hold, install, inspect, and test. Check fit on assemblies, perform ergonomic reviews, and test functional details quickly, without the long lead times of machining.

Best Fit Technology:

  • PolyJet: Produce multi-material prototypes for high realism, including transparent, color, and flexible materials.
  • SLA: Produce large-scale accurate prototypes when surface finish and fine detail are priorities.

Benefits:

  • Shorten production cycles by multiple weeks and test multiple iterations quickly to improve product quality before launch.
  • Validate design, ergonomics, assembly, and part interaction before tooling.
  • Build large prototypes in fewer sections to reduce assembly time and fit-up variation.

Custom Products

Turn early ideas into realistic, review-ready models that stakeholders can see, feel, and evaluate sooner. With Stratasys PolyJet technology, industrial design teams can create full-color, multi-material concept models that simulate color, material, finish, texture, transparency, and flexibility in a single model.

Best Fit Technology:

PolyJet: Leverage full color and multiple materials for highly realistic concept modeling.

Benefits:

  • Reduce manual work on full-color, multi-material models to reduce time by up to 75% and costs by up to 85%.
  • Validate aesthetics, ergonomics, proportions, and CMF decisions earlier in the design cycle.

Packaging Design

Produce limited edition, luxury packaging or bring innovative packaging concepts to life with hyper-realistic prototypes that mimic the look, feel, label detail, and shelf impact of the final design.

Best Fit Technology:

  • PolyJet: Perform full color packaging design testing.
  • P3 DLP: Produce durable and detailed packaging components.

Benefits:

  • Create full-color packaging models that simulate materials such as glass, wood, and marble.
  • Reduce delays from outsourced mockups.
  • Support faster approvals for CPG, beverage, beauty, personal care, and luxury packaging.

Customized Textile & Accessory Design

Push fashion and accessory design beyond traditional limits using advanced 3D printing technology for custom textiles, decorative garments, footwear concepts, luxury accessories, and personalized wearable designs.

Best Fit Technology:

PolyJet J850™ TechStyle: Print designs directly on textiles.

Benefits:

  • Print directly on fabric to create tactile, textured, full-color designs with high visual impact.
  • Support personalized and one-off garments, footwear, and accessories.
  • Shorten fashion concept development cycles.
