Shape Corp. is a global tier 1 automotive company specializing in crash management solutions and energy solutions for their customers. They decided to adopt additive manufacturing after being encouraged by their customers who were already using the technology. The versatility of 3D printing, including numerous material options and the impressive build envelope of the Stratasys F900, expanded the capabilities of what Shape Corp could produce, ultimately cutting months off of their engineering workflow. 

With surrogate parts, Shape Corp is able to speed up their maturation cylces and put a full-sized part into their engineer' hands in just weeks rather than months.
