Customer Background: Sea-Doo Leads Global Innovation in Water Mobility
Sea-Doo is the world-famous brand under Canada's BRP (Bombardier Recreational Products), globally renowned for jet skis and high-performance watercraft. Sea-Doo has always been committed to innovative design and cutting-edge technology, maintaining a leading position in the industry.
Industry Pain Points: Traditional Manufacturing Limits Large-Part R&D
When developing large, complex components such as the jet ski "bow," Sea-Doo has long faced two major challenges:
1. High cost — traditional mold-making can cost tens of thousands of dollars; any design change essentially means starting over.
2. Long cycle — from design to prototype usually takes weeks or even months, severely affecting product iteration and market-response speed.
This has left Sea-Doo's R&D department in urgent need of an industrial 3D manufacturing solution that can deliver large-format printing of giant parts, support carbon fiber and PEEK and other high-performance materials, while offering high throughput and high precision.
Solution: CreatBot D600 Pro2 HS Industrial 3D Printer
After extensive evaluation, Sea-Doo finally introduced the CreatBot D600 Pro2 HS. This high-end 3D manufacturing printer aimed at industrial and commercial markets:
CreatBot D600Pro2 HS printing the jet-ski bow
Ultra-large build volume — enables one-piece printing of large jet-ski components;
High-temperature printing capability — supports carbon-fiber-reinforced materials, PEEK and other top-tier engineering plastics;
High speed & high precision — achieves rapid prototyping without sacrificing detail;
Industrial-grade stability & high throughput — runs continuously for long hours, meeting commercial R&D demands.
Implementation: From Blueprint to Giant Prototype
Details of the jet-ski bow printed by CreatBot
Sea-Doo engineers imported the bow's CAD file into the CreatBot D600 Pro2 HS and selected carbon-fiber-reinforced material for printing. The entire process was stable and efficient, completing in just a few days what traditional processes would have taken weeks. The design team then conducted rapid validation and optimization on this basis, drastically shortening the R&D cycle.
Pain Points Solved: From Problem to Breakthrough
Since adopting the CreatBot industrial 3D printer, Sea-Doo has achieved breakthroughs in multiple areas:
R&D cycle shortened by over 70% — new bow parts go from design to testing in only a few days;
Manufacturing cost reduced by 60% — less reliance on expensive molds, saving hundreds of thousands of dollars;
Greater material flexibility — switch freely among carbon fiber, PEEK, nylon and other high-performance materials on the same machine;
Higher throughput — engineering teams can develop multiple prototypes simultaneously, greatly boosting R&D efficiency;
Innovation unleashed — designers can boldly experiment with new shapes and structures without worrying about manufacturing cost or risk.

Results: Leap in Efficiency, Acceleration of Innovation
With the CreatBot D600 Pro2 HS, Sea-Doo not only rapidly produced a brand-new bow prototype but also accelerated the overall development of its next-generation jet ski. Product development shifted from "passive waiting" to "rapid iteration," greatly enhancing Sea-Doo's competitiveness in the global market.
Customer Feedback: A Breakthrough Innovation Tool
Sea-Doo's Director of R&D said:
"The CreatBot D600 Pro2 HS is the best industrial 3D manufacturing printer we have ever seen. Its large format and high performance have completely unleashed our team's creativity, allowing us to push jet-ski innovation at an unprecedented speed."
