Customer Profile
Marchesini Group is a leading Italian manufacturer of automated packaging machinery serving the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food industries. The company is renowned for delivering customized, high-performance packaging solutions.
Challenges
Producing complex, tailor-made components through traditional manufacturing methods had become costly, slow, and inflexible, limiting the company’s ability to meet increasing customization demands and fast delivery timelines.
Solutions
To enhance agility and efficiency, Marchesini Group integrated Stratasys additive manufacturing into its production workflow. With a fleet of ten FDM and two PolyJet 3D printers, the company now produces strong, lightweight, and multi-material components on demand—eliminating the need for expensive tooling and large inventories.
Impact
3D printing has cut lead times from weeks to days and reduced costs significantly, enabling engineers to prototype and manufacture parts—such as fixtures, casings, and cable supports—with up to 30% weight reduction. The on-demand model also ensures rapid replacement part production for global clients, minimizing downtime. In 2019, Marchesini’s 3D printers operated over 24,000 hours, underscoring the integral role of Stratasys technology in its daily operations and innovation strategy.
