ProJet® MJP 2500 Case Study

3D printing helps drive ingenuity and ROI at Hyde Park Partners


PROJET MJP 2500 ENABLES BETTER DESIGN, FASTER TIME TO MARKET, REDUCED COSTS, AND THE ABILITY TO QUICKLY TRANSLATE CUSTOMER INPUT INTO PHYSICAL REALTIY

American Engineering Group (AEG), a subsidiary of Hyde Park Partners (HPP) in Charlotte, N.C., is a company on a mission: Its goal is to provide an affordable, lasting solution to chronic energy problems faced by rural communities in Africa.

With quality of life at stake for millions of people, there is an urgent need for HPP to continuously improve Firefly, the company's off-the-grid, solar-powered LED lighting system.

HPP faced with the challenge of needing to r​​​​​​apidly convert new design ideas into realistic, functional product prototypes to enable continuous innovation and better quality.

Read on to learn why the ProJet® MJP 2500 Plus 3D printer from 3D Systems was the easy choice for HPP to help them deliver high quality prototypes quickly in multiple materials and how HPP was able to accelerate and reduce prototype production from 10 days to a single day, saving as much as $9,000 per prototype.
