Reference Case
Canon Inc
Canon’s manufacturing processes for ultra-precision products, which are difficult to automate, presented a significant challenge. A key goal was to reduce the psychological and physical workload on their on-site workers.
The Challenge
- The machining and assembly of ultra-precision products are difficult to automate, relying heavily on the specialized techniques and know-how of skilled employees.
- Handling extremely large and high-cost components places a significant psychological and physical burden on on-site workers.
- Outsourcing the production of custom jigs, tools, and repair parts resulted in high costs and long lead times.
The Solution
- Bringing the production of jigs, tools, and repair parts in-house improved production efficiency and quality.
- The ability to quickly implement new ideas led to more improvements, generating a return on investment that exceeded the equipment’s purchase price within one year.
- The company reduced lead times and costs while also fostering innovation and supporting employee skill development.
Details and Results of Utilization
- Improving Efficiency and Quality with In-house Jigs and Parts
- Accelerating the Pace of Innovation and Improvement.
Sonic Communications
Sonic Communications, a global supplier of specialist equipment, provides solutions and services for police, military, government, and industrial sectors. Their customers include the UK Ministry of Defence, the Royal Navy, and police forces around the world. Established in 1977, the Birmingham UK-based business has more than 100 members of staff.
The Challenge
Sonic needed a faster, more efficient way to prototype and produce parts.
Early experimentation with basic 3D printing showed clear potential, but the company relied heavily on outsourcing — leading to high costs and long lead times. Producing parts externally could take up to a week, slowing down design iterations and product development.
At the same time, growing demand for prototypes and parts made the process increasingly unsustainable. Supply chain delays and limited in-house capability further constrained innovation.
The Solution
In 2022, Sonic Communications brought 3D printing in-house with a fleet of Markforged 3D printers, transforming how they design, prototype, and produce parts.
By adopting additive manufacturing, Sonic eliminated reliance on outsourcing and gained full control over production. This enabled them to rapidly iterate designs, customise products, and respond quickly to customer needs.
