In this webinar, Christopher Barretta from the Stanley Black & Decker Industrial Design team discusses how the Objet Geometries PolyJet Matrix™ machines have improved the prototyping and evaluation process for the next generation of products coming to market. Through the use of 3D printing technology, the prototyping team delivers conceptual models faster, getting ideas in the hands of the designers for evaluation sooner. You will learn: • A general overview of the Stanley Black & Decker design and prototyping process. • How the Objet Geometries 3D printing technology improved our prototyping and production of ID conceptual models. • How this technology helped save manpower, time, and money while on our design evaluation process. The capabilities of 3D printing systems present infinite possibilities to the field industrial design prototyping. Possessing the ability to design/model a part in the morning when you get to your desk and then hand it off to a prototype specialist in the afternoon to be printed is proving to be invaluable. Rapid prototyping technologies are forever changing the prototyping profession, and are a key part of delivering better products to consumers faster.

9. Design Process
• Designer would first
sketch their ideas.
• Start to tool lay out .
• Do rough CAD work,
often Z-corps
prototype models are
made. This process is
typically used for early
stage models.
• After design
confirmation, final 3D
work begins.

10. Design Process
• During the final 3D
creation process, Objet
EDEN models are made
to check surfacing.
• Engineering
confirmation models
are made to confirm all
final details.
• Final models are made
to take to meetings and
photography sessions.

11. Traditional Prototyping
• Next… secondary NC
work.
• Average time… one
week to for the entire
process
• CNC programming
• Part set-up
• CNC back cuts of
the part, then flip
to cut the top.

12. 3D Printing Process
• Receiving the file,
• Check and change
the model,
depending on
requirements.
• Convert it to an STL
and print.
• Parts removed and
finished.
• Average time… 2-3
days for the entire
process.

13. Traditional Mold Making
• Traditional way… molds made when more than one model was needed by
the design team.
• Now… we use the Objet EDEN to make the duplicates we need.
• We still make molds, but we do it a new way….

14. Next Generation Prototyping
• Now, we have the
capability to blend EDEN
parts with Ren Shape
machined components.
• Using the EDEN machine
saves us machining time.
• Full EDEN molds can be
used for, cold cast parts…
eliminating machining
entirely.

15. Traditional Prototyping
•
•
•
•
Molds can also be made when a project needs over-molds.
This process used to require CNC programming, machining time and part finishing.
Then a silicon or a hard mold was made to produce a soft rubber part.
Average time was 5 days for this entire process.

16. Eden Mold Making
• EDEN produced molds often replace our
machined and silicon molds for producing
cold cast rubber parts.
• This process improvement shaved days off
the old process of machining molds.

17. Eden Over-molds
• (Left) EDEN printed parts in
comparison to cast rubber part
from an EDEN mold.
• (Above) Eden printed rubber
parts used for a photography
level prototype.

18. Finished Eden Prototype
• This all EDEN model was
chrome plated to give the
final look of what the
product will be.
• Models done to this level
of detail show the
customer what they will
have, before final tooling
is cut.

19. Plated Eden Prototypes
• Plated EDEN parts make
them stronger and add
functional capability to
the models
• This eliminates costly
and labor intensive
metal machining time.
• Plating parts adds an
extra level of realism to
a prototype model.

20. Next Generation Prototyping
• The Objet EDEN machine has the capability and accuracy to support the
company wide prototyping needs.
• (Above) Parts created for fit up , surfacing and pre-tooling evaluation.
