When you’re building something ambitious, the tools you choose matter.
That’s why getting featured by Onshape—a platform we rely on daily—is a milestone we’re excited about. Their recent article highlights how we’re using Onshape through their Startup Program to accelerate our development of custom 3D printed phone cases, made on demand in under 15 minutes.
At Red Wolf Technology, we’ve created a system that allows retail stores to manufacture custom-fit phone cases for any phone model, right on the spot. It’s fast, it’s sustainable, and it’s changing the way accessories are made and sold.
But building something that can deliver a perfect fit for thousands of phone models—each with unique curves, buttons, cameras, and dimensions—is no small feat. We needed a CAD platform that could keep up with our pace, support collaboration across teams, and give us version control without the headache. That’s where Onshape came in.
Designing at Startup Speed
Traditional CAD tools often create friction when you’re trying to iterate fast. Files get locked. Versions get lost. Collaboration gets messy.
With Onshape, our engineering and design teams can collaborate in real time, from anywhere. We’re able to make rapid adjustments to case designs, test fit and function, and push updates into production without breaking our flow.
Because Onshape is cloud-native, there’s no installing software or managing file versions. Everyone—from engineers to product leads—can jump into a model, leave comments, or tweak a design instantly. For a lean team like ours, that speed is everything.
Scaling a Massive Model Library
Our Print3D platform supports thousands of phone models, and we’re adding more every week. That means our case library needs to be scalable, organized, and easy to update.
With Onshape’s powerful design tools and built-in version control, we can confidently manage that growth. Whether we’re prototyping a new snap-fit geometry, updating MagSafe alignment, or testing button flexibility, the process is seamless.
It’s not just about building fast—it’s about building right, at scale.
Why This Feature Matters
We’re still early in our journey, but recognition from a platform like Onshape means a lot. As a startup trying to change how physical products are made and delivered, being spotlighted by the tools that help us do it is validation that we’re on the right track.
We’re grateful for the support and excited for what’s next.
