Since its start in 1989,Animax Designshas operated with a simple, yet inspiring vision: to create industry-leading 3D characters built with artistry, using cutting-edge technology.

Animax Designs已成为主题公园行业的领导者，设计和工程是世界各地吸引人每天看到的一些最著名的动画。

但是，Animax Design的团队成员在他们创建的每个角色面临着独特的挑战。除了使这些角色栩栩如生的工程和设计迷宫外，他们还必须专注于无法控制的变量。通常，了解这些动画需要在潜在的粗糙环境条件下（例如地震，飓风等）可靠地持续多年。

Design and Engineering Manager Kurt Oetken has been with the company for 3 years and routinely faces these problems.

“In the theme park industry, we design around a character going into installation and running for 20 years at 16 hours a day, 7 days a week,” said Oetken. “A character is going to see somewhere in the 20 to 30 million motion cycles.”

Animax partnered with Fictiv for the first time early2018, when they realized they needed high-quality parts at speed. Since their parts require that they stand up to years of wear and tear, they needed a partner on whom they could rely.

With Fictiv, Animax Designs knows that they will receive the quality parts they need, when they need them.

“With the hundreds and hundreds of parts that we’ve ordered, they come in with an inspection report with actual dimensions marked on the print,” said Oetken. “Fictiv is the only group that does that for us.”

For John Dawe, a senior mechanical designer at Animax Designs, the partnership with Fictiv has provided peace of mind.

“在Animax Designs，我们为我们的设计工作和所涉及的工程感到非常自豪，以使该设计栩栩如生。”“我们一直在寻找帮助我们快速，轻松获得准确零件的方法。”

“Fictiv has allowed us to accomplish a lot of work in a very short time, work that we didn’t think we would be able to handle,” Dawe added. “If we ever had any questions, we knew that we could have a great conversation with their team and receive answers quickly.”

Ultimately, Oetken and the team at Animax Designs are looking to continue to push the industry forward.

“We’re an extremely diverse group of people that has come from all different walks of life,” said Oetken. “This mix of artists, artisans, engineers, and designers all have one common goal: to produce beautiful characters that the rest of the world can enjoy for years to come.”
