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