Fishman Acoustic Amplification [http://www.fishman.com ] works with the world's top
instrument builders, artists and retailers. Using its Objet desktop 3D printer
[http://www.objet.com/3D-Printer/Objet_Desktop_Family ], Fishman can print mechanically
accurate guitar amplification device prototypes that customers can't tell apart from real
production parts. In-house 3D printing allows Fishman to go through multiple design
iterations in a single day, enabling the company to rapidly perfect its designs without
compromising on quality or missing sales cycles.

Previously, outsourced prototyping had been expensive and slow. Now, with in-house
prototyping using the Objet desktop 3D printer, Fishman can get to market faster and its
production process is more predictable.

"Kula, our new onboard ukulele system, is an example of where we really got a chance
to use the Objet desktop 3D printer to its fullest advantage," says Robert Ketch, Vice
President of OEM Sales at Fishman Acoustic Amplification. "The prototypes of the Objet
desktop are of such good quality that our customers think they are production parts. We're
going to be making many more pieces with the Objet desktop 3D printer to repeat the
success we had with this product. The impact on the timeline and the impression that Objet
makes have been really valuable."
In addition to being impressed with the quality, flexibility and structural integrity
of the models created on the Objet desktop 3D printer, the development team at Fishman is
enjoying far easier and faster prototyping.
Ian Popken, Director, Product Development at Fishman Acoustic Amplification, says:
"It's a very smooth process and the Objet 3D printer is easy to use. Just recently we had
one part that went through three revisions in a single day. It's pretty remarkable to get
a perfect prototype so quickly without compromising on design quality."
