Abstract (EN): The aggressive competition that companies, operating in different industrial sectors, are nowadays subjected is the result of manufacturing to a global market where consumers are continuously demanding more sophisticated new products with higher quality and shorter life cycles. These new challenges demand capacities to internally develop new products using digital modelling, rapid prototyping, conversion technologies, rapid manufacturing and others tools that are already common in industrial sectors such as aeronautics, transportation, medical and others. In this communication the authors present how the adoption of these technologies were fundamental to rapidly create new products in a traditional manufacturing pewter company that still has an intensive human labour and traditional way for product development, and how these new methodologies were fundamental to quickly introduce, with success, these products in the international market.
