The Wilson R&D team was looking for more effective means to produce prototype injection mold tooling for a line of youth baseball bat handle. To implement these design changes within an existing baseball handle, the product development team was in search of an alternative prototyping process to significantly reduce the time it takes from “art-to-part”. Straying away from their traditional metal tooling methodologies, the team dove head first into redesigning this baseball component using 3D printing as the sole means towards producing this mold.
