Speedy delivery

“With our Objet system, the Ktrak Cycle prototype took less than half the time to produce, and this was a huge advantage for our client in bringing the bike to market,” Wilkens says.

In another example, ID Group used its Eden 500V to execute an urgent project for aviation leader Learjet, a division of Bombardier Aerospace. Learjet called upon ID Group – in partnership with C&D Zodiac, a world leader in aircraft interiors – to create a life-sized mockup of the interior of the company’s newest aircraft – the Learjet 85 – in time for the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) convention, just ten weeks away.

ID Group utilized its Objet system to produce – and sometimes improve – even the smallest details, from Passenger Service Units (PSUs) to flight attendant call buttons. The plane’s interior – comprising hundreds of individual components – debuted on time in October 2008.

“Learjet’s leadership was astounded by the quality of the finished product and the speed with which it was delivered,” Wilkens says. “Meeting the deadlines for the Learjet prototype would have been utterly impossible without our Objet system. We are repeatedly amazed by what this remarkable technology can accomplish.”
