Customer Profile
Korea-based Innodesign was founded in Silicon Valley in 1986 by design guru and unflinching innovator Kim Young-se. Chosen as one of the world’s top 10 design groups by Nikkei BP in Japan 2009, Innodesign is known for adding winsome touches to the designs of many sought- after consumer products across the globe, such as LG Electronics’ double-door refrigerator, Samsung’s cutting-edge clamshell cellphone and Laneige’s Foundation Sliding Pact.
Challenge
The design team faced creative limitations due to restricted color options and complex fabrication processes. These constraints often made it difficult to fully express design concepts or experiment freely with new ideas. Just as Kim wondered why design wasn’t keeping pace with digital transformation, Stratasys printers opened a new world.
Solutions
With the Stratasys Polyjet Design Series, the Innodesign team brings new products to life by 3D printing models in multi-materials and in as many colors as their designers can assign. The multi-color, multi-material 3D printer adds value to the team in addition to the aesthetic benefits of prototypes. What used to be a monochromatic model has now become photorealistic prototype made possible through the automatic color mapping function, 360,000 color options and an unmatched range of materials.
Even as an experienced user of 3D printing technology, Korea-based Innodesign was surprised by the unprecedented realism provided by Stratasys 3D printers.
“They truly amaze everyone on the team, and boost energy for designers to keep thinking out of the box for more and better ideas,” - Kim Young Se, CEO.
Impact
Blurring the line between mockups and high-fidelity prototypes, the J Series delivers the same results at a fraction of traditional fabrication costs.
While conventional prototyping can take up to two weeks and cost between $900 and $1,300, the J Series reduces production time to around eight hours and cost to approximately $88 - achieving up to 90% cost savings and 97% faster turnaround.
