RedEye Case Studies:

Thomas Jefferson case study Thomas Jefferson in the House: RedEye defines museum-quality additive manufacturing in the creation of a life-sized Thomas Jefferson model for the Smithsonian Institute. The model, which took nearly 400 hours to build, is said to be one of the largest 3D-printed historical replicas in the world. According to Dorey Butter, Project Manager for the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), "This was much more than we had hoped for."

Kablooe case study A Life Changing Device: For Kablooe Design, creating devices which transform the medical industry is not a new endeavor. Nearly seventy-five percent of the design firm's creations are life changing medical devices. When asked to radically transform a device used to treat Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in a extremely short timeframe, Kablooe turned to rapid prototyping with RedEye On Demand.

Wyle case study Helping Hand: Wyle’s Integrated Science and Engineering Group in Houston helped the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) prepare the Robonaut 2 (R2) dexterous humanoid robot for launch to the International Space Station (ISS). The estimates time for conventional machining of the parts used for the mockup was 8 months and the cost was $180,000. Instead, it took only two weeks and cost $36,000 for Redeye to make all of the parts required for the mockup.

Roaring Forties case study - fused deposition modeling Accelerating Automotive Manufacturing: "We know that RedEye’s digital manufacturing is great for building parts for development testing – even end use. But because of its accuracy and dimensional stability we now appreciate that we can build all of our jigs and fixtures with thermoplastics as well."
said Paul Bottomley, co-owner of Roaring Forties.

PaR Systems case study - fused deposition modeling Product Replica's Cut Costs with Big Impact: "Something that small yet functional creates a major visual impact – something you just can't get with flat graphics. It has turned into quite the conversation piece and really helps to draw in attendees."

FADarchitecture case study - fused deposition modeling Creating an "Alien" Bike Rack with FDM Technology: "Because the design had so many curves, every time it went in a different direction, we would have had to cut one of the pipes. It would have been nearly impossible to fabricate with traditional milling procedures. 3D printing was the most cost-efficient and precise way to manufacture these parts. With FDM technology, only 18 parts were needed. That's a tremendous difference."
said Francis Bitonti, Principal with FAD Architecture.
