The Challenge
Gestev, a leading event production company in Quebec, was facing increasing pressure to create unique, memorable experiences for their high-profile events while managing tight timelines and budgets. Traditional manufacturing methods for custom event elements were proving to be costly, inflexible, and with long lead times that threatened event deadlines.
Key Challenges
- •Creating unique, eye-catching installations for each event
- •Meeting tight production deadlines for high-profile events
- •Managing costs while maintaining premium quality and visual impact
- •Creating highly customized elements with branding and sponsor integration
The PRINTIV Solution
PRINTIV partnered with Gestev to implement a comprehensive 3D printing strategy for creating custom event elements. This approach dramatically reduced production time and costs while giving event designers unprecedented creative freedom to realize their visions.
Rapid Prototyping
Our team worked with Gestev designers to rapidly prototype custom event pieces, allowing them to test ideas and make refinements before final production, resulting in better outcomes.
Custom Materials
We used specialized materials tailored to event needs - lightweight yet durable elements for suspended installations, weather-resistant finishes for outdoor events, and vibrant colors for brand-perfect matching.
The Results
75% Faster Production: Custom elements that previously took weeks could now be designed, refined, and produced in just days, giving event managers more flexibility.
40% Cost Reduction: 3D printing eliminated expensive molding and tooling costs associated with traditional manufacturing methods.
Enhanced Design Freedom: Complex geometries and customized elements that would have been prohibitively expensive became feasible, allowing for truly unique event experiences.
Positive Client Feedback: Event attendees and sponsors consistently praised the unique, high-quality custom elements that helped create memorable experiences.
"PRINTIV's rapid prototyping capabilities have been instrumental in our event planning and execution. Their quick turnaround times and attention to detail helped us create unique, custom solutions for our events."
