"I’m confident that this company wouldn’t be near the level of efficiency – and subsequent success – it is today without prototyping capabilities of Dimension’s 3D printing."Dennis Tiberius, Founder
THE CHALLENGE
Tiberius Arms specializes in the design, development, and manufacture of advanced pneumatic weapons with an emphasis on “less-lethal” solutions for police, military, and security agencies - as well as the recreational paintball market. Product design advancements did not come fast and easy. Designs were created in Utah, metal prototypes were modeled in Indiana, and shipping caused the process to be excruciatingly slow.
THE SOLUTION
Tiberius Arms determined they would need to improve product development processes in terms of both time and money. After researching 3D printing, they purchased a Dimension uPrint 3D Printer. This allowed the team to see prototypes from conceptual design to a physical model in a durable ABS plastic before committing to the high cost of producing the product in metal. The result? Better looking, better working parts and improved product appeal. With his new uPrint, Dennis and his team are now able to make different versions of their guns, all out of cost-effective ABS plastic. They are able to quickly verify form, fit and function and today, everything Tiberius Arms produces is first prototyped with the uPrint.
