Outshiny India – Arctic Fox
The only Indian Company to Design & Manufacture Keyboard, Mouse
The Challenge
Manufacturing in India has yet to become globally competitive. India’s manufacturers have been improving slowly and steadily over the past few years. “Arctic Fox as a brand believes that their main competition is from China because Chinese goods are sold in India at much more competitive prices due to their mass production capabilities.” Adopting the principles of good manufacturing techniques is the key to joining hands with world leaders and competing in the global ring successfully. We have been continuously working on product design with extensive research to understand user behaviour and the day-to-day problems they face with the present product available in the market. Our core belief is that with relentless optimism and creativity, we could solve any problem and achieve our impossible dreams said Sridhar Thirunakara, Founder and CEO of Arctic Fox.
Stratasys J5 – Endless Possibilities at every turn.
Early-stage visualization holds immense importance in enhancing product quality. Stratasys J5’s with its polyjet 3D Printing technology bears a capacity to create ultra-realistic, full-color models empowers us to expedite our decision-making. The seamless workflow from design to print that this resin 3D Printer offers opens up limitless opportunities. With full colour 3D Printing technology, we can produce components that not only resemble, but also replicate the look, tactile experience, and functionality of the final product, all while maintaining an exceptional surface finish. The integration of full-color prototypes minimizes communication gaps within the team and streamlines the design cycle, ultimately rendering this resin 3D Printer capable of processing wide array of 3D Printing materials an indispensable asset in design endeavors.
“Since incorporating the Stratasys J5 machine into our in-house designing process we can design a product from scratch and can quickly print it in full color with high detailing. The Polyjet materials are good enough that we can even readily test the fitment of the printed components to validate the design parameters.”

Polyjet 3D Printing – Tool for End-use Application
Not limited to design validation, the Outshiney has also extended 3D printing applications for end-use, low-batch production as well. When confronted with the requirement to manufacture 200 identical components for integration into one of their products, the initial plan involved traditional mold creation. However, after assessing cost and time projections using their inhouse Stratasys 3D Printers and contrasting them with mold tooling expenses, the company swiftly revised their approach. The Polyjet 3D Printing machine facilitated the printing of all components within a single night, resulting in efficient production at a cost-effective rate.

Results
By integrating Stratasys 3D Printers into their internal design process, Outshiney has gained the capability to create design prototypes in-house, eliminating the need to outsource them to external entities. This shift has bolstered security and minimized associated risks. Previously, the process of sending models out for testing consumed a significant amount of time, but with the utilization of this resin 3D Printer, reliance on external suppliers has significantly decreased. Now, designers can swiftly make necessary modifications on the computer, incorporate desired colors and textures, and print the prototype within a matter of hours.
