THE CHALLENGE
Nowadays, 3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is allowing manufacturers to produce anything and everything, all with great detail. The challenge for ExOne was being able to convey this sense of endless possibilities and advancement with its line of metal 3D printers.
STRATEGY
To help tackle this challenge, the company approached Bally Design to apply design thinking to the external aesthetic profile of its machines, combining form with function. Through CAD and cintiq design, Bally Design defined and applied a new brand language to the ProLine 3D printers, creating assets ready to use for marketing as well as manufacturing.

I never, ever need to worry about what I’ll get and am truly delighted. ExOne really needed the change. It’s setting us apart and proving very effective.
