Time-To-Market
MINNEAPOLIS, June 28 — RedEye (www.RedEyeOnDemand.com),
a business unit of

“Product manufacturers are under constant pressure to bring better products
to market faster,” says product manager Tim Thellin. “Overnight Build™
will deliver the working prototypes they need to quickly adjust and validate
designs and meet product release dates.”
Overnight Build ships production-grade ABS plastic parts
the day after an order is received and approved, serving as an extension of an organization’s
in-house prototyping capability or as a preferred partner for outsourced parts.

Build based on criteria such as size, quantity, run time and
