Tooling for market testing
In response to the desire expressed by consumers to have a quicker and more convenient way of dosing detergents, P&G made a first draft of a measuring cup. Before bringing it to the market, the P&G consumer research experts had to collect all possible quantitative or qualitative information that could be helpful to the product development people. It was beyond doubt that there could not be a more efficient way of getting the consumer in touch with the product than through prototypes. The link with Materialise was obvious… not in the least because the process had to be both time- and money-saving.
The Brani® of OrangTiga
Mostly made of brown or black leather, with a medieval buckle closure system with pin and holes... probably the least exciting consumer product you can think of is the traditional belt. The Orang Tiga company now introduces the Brani®, a revolution in the waistware category. A unique product, resulting from a successful collaboration with Materialise which supported the entire development process.

GBO explains how Materialise supports their product development process
GBO develops the first concepts by means of the software Rhino. The new cycle lock collection of AXA is a clear example of this.

With the help of STL-files from Rhino we can have 3D stereolithography models made by Materialise in 3 days.
