On the first day of the project, the engineering team had nothing more than a basic concept and a rough handle model. 2. 解決策 Engineers utilized FDM 3D printing for quick, cost effective iterations. By printing multiple physical versions of the handle and end caps, they could test the ergonomics, refine the internal bit storage mechanism, and make precise adjustments based on actual handling rather than digital renders. プリントに使用 [Original Prusa MK4S](https://www.prusa3d.com/ja/product/original-prusa-mk4s-3d-2/) 3. 価値 Rapid physical prototyping allowed the team to efficiently validate the design. It ensured the final tool fit naturally in the hand and reduced user fatigue during operation. “The LTT screwdriver is our take on a best in class ratcheting screwdriver. I am extremely happy with our result, as are hundreds of thousands of customers!” Kyle Tharratt, Engineering Manager at LMG ![A matte black printed screwdriver body with the steel shaft fitted, surrounded by eight printed end cap prototypes](https://assets.prusa3d.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,quality=85,format=auto/fc4e49f5-21a1-4e90-ba46-14e560d98bfc.png) End cap selection prototypes. ## SLA resin printing for mold approval 1. Problem Transitioning a product like the screwdriver into mass production requires highly accurate validation. Utilizing standard FDM prints is not always sufficient for examining intricate internal mechanisms and fine surface details before committing to expensive production tooling. 2. Solution For high detail models and parts requiring specialized materials, the team shifted to SLA printing. They utilized the Original Prusa SL1 resin printer, which proved instrumental in accurately prototyping the most complex internal components of the screwdriver. Printed on [Prusa SL1S SPEED](https://www.prusa3d.com/ja/product/original-prusa-sl1s-speed-3d/) 3. Value SLA printing provided the necessary dimensional accuracy and smooth surface finish to fully evaluate the product. This efficient design validation prevented costly errors before transitioning to full scale production. ![Three amber resin parts on a plywood bench: a collar, a handle body and an end cap embossed with the LTT logo](https://assets.prusa3d.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,quality=85,format=auto/cdd4b49c-1622-444a-ba07-c8d4bb96c765.png) SLA parts before mold approval. ## Manufacturing custom equipment for video production 1. Problem Producing technology content across multiple sets requires constant adaptation. The production team frequently needs highly specific items, like camera mounts or testing rigs, that are either unavailable on the market or take too long to source from external suppliers. 2. Solution The Creator Warehouse relies on the Original Prusa MK4S to manufacture practical items on demand. The team prints lightweight monitor stands, cable organizers, and custom brackets for robotic testing fixtures in durable materials like PETG, PA11, and PC Blend CF. Printed on [Original Prusa MK4S](https://www.prusa3d.com/ja/product/original-prusa-mk4s-3d-2/) [Prusament PETG](https://www.prusa3d.com/category/petg/) [Prusament PA11-CF](https://www.prusa3d.com/category/composite-materials/) [Prusament PC-CF](https://www.prusa3d.com/category/pc-polycarbonate/) 3. Value Having a reliable print farm directly in the workshop enables the team to quickly adapt to urgent needs and meet weekly video deadlines. It also allows them to produce large scale props and custom sets entirely in house. “If you do not have a 3D printer in your workshop, you are missing out. It lets you fail fast, fail cheap, and perfect your designs before moving to full production.” Tynan Stack, Senior Mechanical Engineer at LMG ![A man in the LMG workshop gesturing at a blue steel shelving rack holding several 3D printers, filament spools and equipment cases](https://assets.prusa3d.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,quality=85,format=auto/f9f147fd-88aa-436d-9e14-08c958a47dab.png) Engineers at the LMG employ a large variety of 3D printers. ## Could your next product be decided by someone holding it?
