Rapid prototyping in R&D with the Mayku Multiplier

In the world of R&D (Research and Development) there are generally 4 common problems that plague designers:

1. Waiting for prototypes slows down development
2. Unrealistic prototypes are not convincing
3. Going to tooling without first validating with the real material leads to issues in production
4. Small batch production is inefficient

R&D and product design can often be risky, expensive and slow. But now, thanks to the Mayku Multiplier desktop forming machines, you can produce parts in house with production grade thermoplastics.

This allows you to create a faster cycle time for in-house batch production, validate tooling before production to see what your design will look and work like in the real material and do it quckly without breaking the bank.

Below, we share 4 different case studies from companies who are using the Mayku Multiplier to rapidly prototype their designs and create their final products.

"Morrama was contracted by the startup ‘Hard’ to develop a new product design that reduces the amount of plastic in monthly contact lens cases, of which millions are produced and disposed of each year.

Lucy, a design engineer at Morrama responsible for developing the prototypes, utilized the wide material selection of the Multiplier and its high accuracy to develop prototypes of a new type of contact lens case."

"Dynaudio stands as a leader in the high-fidelity audio equipment industry, renowned for its commitment to producing speakers with unmatched sound quality. Its dedication to innovation is reflected in its rigorous approach to component design and manufacturing. At the heart of its product development is the prototyping of speaker membranes, which are crucial for the accurate reproduction of sound.

Learn how they are using the Mayku Multiplier to save time and money in R&D."

"Malte Heuer is a Development Engineer and Product Manager at Oertli Instrumente AG, a company that specializes in producing high-quality surgical devices and medical instruments for ophthalmology. The company is based in the St. Gall Rhine Valley, where it exclusively develops and manufactures its products to ensure Swiss quality, precision, and reliability.

Malte introduced the Mayku Multiplier and its pressure forming technology to the R&D and engineering departments. By relying on desktop pressure forming, Oertli demonstrates that in-house agile prototyping can significantly improve efficiency and output quality."

"In the fast paced, competitive world of VR headset manufacturing, innovating fast and staying on top of the latest tech is of key strategic importance to getting ahead in this exciting new field.

At Meta, the virtual optical engineering team are responsible for the development of the optical modules in their VR headsets. Engineers at Meta use the Multiplier in their Reality Lab to test and optimize thermoforming settings before going to full scale production."
