Production System
The Italian division of the international consumer goods giant, Unilever, has cut lead times for prototype parts by 40% since introducing Stratasys’ PolyJet 3D printing technology into its manufacturing process. Utilizing 3D printed injection moulding tools, the company
is now able to produce prototype parts in the final material for functional and consumer tests significantly faster than traditional tooling methods.
Unilever, which owns brands such as Surf, Comfort, Hellmanns and Domestos, is using its Stratasys Objet500 Connex Multi-material 3D Production System to produce injection mould tools for its household care and laundry goods divisions, with a run of around 50 units for a wide variety of prototype parts such as bottle caps and closures and toiletrim blocks.
Armed with its Stratasys Objet500 Connex Multi-material 3D Production System from an Italian reseller, Overmach, Unilever 3D prints its injection mould tools in Digital ABS – a material renowned for its high temperature resistance and toughness, making it ideal for injection moulding applications.
