Control unit housing for an assembly line

A replacement control unit housing, printed overnight, prevented an extended assembly-line stoppage.

The challenge

A control unit housing on an assembly line failed, and the supplier's replacement part was six weeks out.

The solution

From existing CAD files we printed a replacement housing in PA12 overnight, matching the original mounting points and cable routing.

Delivered in under 24 hours
Same mounting points as the original part
Resistant to dust and line vibration

Result

The line kept running with minimal downtime.
