Customer Success Story
Animax Designs creates industry-leading 3D characters built with artistry using cuttingedge technology . Established over 30 years as a leader in the theme park industry , Animax designs and engineers some of the most famous animatronics seen every day by attractiongoers around the world . “ In the theme park industry , we design around a character going into an installation and running for 20 years at 16 hours a day , seven days a week ,” says Design and Engineering manager Kurt Oetken . “ A character is going to see somewhere in the 20-30mn motion cycles .” Animax partnered with Fictiv for the first time early 2018 , when they realised 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 ,” reflects Oetken . “ Fictiv is the only group that does that for us . They 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 . If we ever had any questions , we knew that we could have a great conversation with their team and receive answers quickly .”
