CDJ Designs Leverages Cutting-Edge 3D Printing Technology to Disrupt the Golf Industry

CINCINNATI - Aug. 8, 2019 - PRLog -- Mohawk is a patent-pending, golf ball stenciling tool that leverages science based on the Vernier Acuity principle, to help golfers putt up to 15% more accurately. It works by allowing the player to draw three straight parallel lines on their ball. The combination of that, plus the contrasting colors of the lines, help golfers better align their putts.

"The Mohawk is a ground-breaking innovation," says CDJ's CEO, John Hauer. "We've included several features that enable golfers to benefit from leading scientific research. Shooting lower scores is at the top of any player's wishlist. Half of their strokes happen on or around the green. If they putt better because of the visual cues that Mohawk enables, they will shave strokes from their scorecard."

The Mohawk was designed from inception to be 3D printed. It's produced as one fully functional piece, leveraging the design freedom that additive manufacturing offers. It will be manufactured "on-demand," eliminating the cost and risk associated with mass manufacturing. Further, 3D printing enabled CDJ to develop and launch Mohawk in less than four months, outpacing any potential competitor.

"Knowing that we would ultimately 3D print the final version of the Mohawk enabled us to move through the product development process much more quickly," says CDJ's VP of Product Development, Craig Garoutte. "I never had to consider the inevitable design changes that mass manufacturing technologies like injection molding would require. Further, as we receive feedback from real customers, I can quickly iterate and continuously improve the product."

The Mohawk is manufactured using HP's Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing technology. It's made using a tough and strong PA-12 nylon material. It also benefits from the high level of quality and accuracy offered by HP's solution.

"We tested many other golf stenciling products," says CDJ COO, Dustin Lehmann. "Most were made with cheap plastics that broke after limited use. Also, they utilized a spring to clamp the ball in place. It wasn't effective. When designing the Mohawk we wanted to create a product that would survive the rigors of life in a golf bag, and snap down tight, ensuring the lines are straight, every time."

Initially, the Mohawk will be sold on its own dedicated eCommerce website. However, CDJ Designs is exploring potential partnerships with strategic retail partners.

The Mohawk 3D golf aligner officially launches on August 9, 2019. To learn more and sign up for our special early access offer, please visit https://MohawkYourBalls.com.
