Client Profile

Bosch, a world-renowned power tool manufacturer, maintains stringent requirements for structural/functional validation and material performance in its product development cycle.

Prototype Comparison

The client conducted parallel prototyping using:

SLS with PA6-GF material

FDM with PET-CF material

Key Results

u 65% cost reduction with PET-CF compared to SLS PA6-GF

u Main housing accuracy comparable to SLS standards

u Superior precision and wall thickness control on small mounting plates

u Zero deburring required - PET-CF parts achieved production-ready surface quality

u Eliminated post-processing while maintaining dimensional integrity

Validation Success

u The delivered prototypes passed:

u Structural assembly verification

u Full functional and performance testing

u Direct integration into final product systems

This case demonstrates how PET-CF technology provides cost-efficient prototyping solutions while meeting premium manufacturers' precision requirements, effectively bridging the gap between prototype validation and production-ready quality.
