Revolutionizing microfluidics prototyping: Mayku Multiplier expedites production without costly tooling

How Artus3D Improved Orthopaedic Manufacturing Efficiency with Raise3D RMS220

Microfluidics developers are using Mayku thermoforming technology to accelerate device development while avoiding the cost and lead times associated with traditional tooling.

This case study explores how rapid prototyping and low-volume manufacturing workflows enable faster iteration, reduced development costs and a more efficient path from concept to production.

Kinboshi, a Japanese manufacturer of safety and industrial products, upgraded its rapid prototyping capabilities by becoming the first company globally to install the Raise3D RMS220 SLS 3D printer.

Previously reliant on Raise3D’s Pro2 FFF printers for fast, flexible prototyping, Kinboshi faced limitations in part strength and support structure removal with FFF technology.

The RMS220’s selective laser sintering (SLS) technology solved these issues by offering superior material strength, isotropy, and precision—ideal for end-use parts and pressure-bearing components.

Ultracut Australia Accelerates Prototyping with the Mingda MD400D

Ultracut Australia is a leader in custom-built machinery for the textile and soft furnishings industry.

Until recently, their prototyping process was dependent on CNC machining — a reliable but time-consuming and costly solution. Setting up a basic jig or fixture used to take up to four hours on a CNC machine.

That’s when Director Garth Jacobs decided it was time to explore a faster, more agile approach.

HellermannTyton Produces Functional Cable Fasteners with Raise3D DF2 Resin Printer (with Video)

The use of Raise3D’s DF2 resin 3D printer has transformed HellermannTyton’s development process.

The in-house printing capability allows for rapid design iterations and functional testing, accelerating product development and innovation. “Our adoption of resin printing technology has allowed us to innovate faster and more efficiently than ever before”

The company already worked with Raise3D Pro2 FFF printers, which were suitable for fit, size, and shape checks, but these lacked the capability for functional testing. To address this, HellermannTyton sought out a resin printing solution that could reliably produce strong, flexible parts with a high level of detail. This would allow them to quickly iterate designs and provide their customers with functional prototypes within one or two days.

JPM Industries Enhances Medical Equipment Design with 3D Printing and Raise3D Printers

JPM Industries (NSW, Australia), a medical and rehab‑equipment designer in NSW, replaced time‑consuming CNC and outsourced production with in‑house 3D printing using Raise3D printers.

Since 2018 they began printing prototypes internally, and in 2022 upgraded to a Raise3D Pro3 for glass‑filled nylon and high‑quality nylon parts.

The shift cut costs, accelerated design and development cycles, and enabled quicker product iteration.

A standout result: a fully 3D‑printed “Care Station” — a device helping wheelchair‑bound parents with infant care — demonstrating 3D printing’s real‑world impact in medical equipment manufacturing.
