Established in 1924, Daikin is a world leading provider of heating and air conditioning systems (HVAC) for residential, commercial and industrial properties. A common feature of HVAC systems is the drain pan that collects and redirects moisture removed from the air. New systems require multiple iterations of prototype drain pans to validate fit and function before locking in the final design. Outsourced 3D printed prototypes cost $485; the quote for one injection molded prototype was $22,200 with a one-month lead time.
