A different kind of 3D printing service
We print to solve problems and achieve goals. We know that to achieve this, we must be willing to work a little harder, work a little smarter, and develop strong relationships with our customer.
Typical service in the 3D printing world is minimal. You send your file, choose your material and colors, receive a quote, confirm the price, and then you get a 3D print of precisely what was sent in your file — no questions asked. For someone with an engineering and 3D printing background, this is a very effective process. For the average business owner, however, this minimalistic method can lead to a final product that doesn’t achieve the end goal.
3D Printing has a reputation…
From its inception, 3D printing has been recognized for its speed, ease, and cost-effectiveness as an alternative to traditional manufacturing. For the right jobs with the right materials, the correct quantity, and an accurate file — this is indeed the case. However, for 3D printing to truly live up to its reputation, it needs to be executed with a level of expertise that is greatly underestimated. It is fast, easy, and cost-effective if you know what you’re doing. But if you don’t? It can be prolonged, complicated, and expensive, and you may not end up with a satisfactory part.
Rather than expect you to know everything about 3D printing…
Our team only expects you to know everything about what you do. We love 3D printing, but we don’t just print products to print them. We print products to solve problems (literally, why we exist in the first place). Often, customers recognize that 3D printing is the solution, but they aren’t sure how to implement it. And that’s OKAY! We have a team of engineers and technicians who assist with every step of the 3D printing process — from selecting the right material to creating a 3D model and determining the most cost-effective solution. We want to share our expertise with customers because it ensures a product that makes them happy, which in turn makes us happy.
Problem-solving 3D printing requires a partnership…
Between printer and customer. While the 3D printer must possess the expertise to help solve problems and the integrity to determine if 3D Printing is the right fit for a project, the customer must be open to the discussion and industry expertise and remember that we are not mind readers. It’s this partnership, though, that makes 3D Printing a game changer. A perfect example of this is our work with Tri-S, a local screen-printing company (Tri-S Case Study). Working directly with the President and CEO, we were able to understand their needs, engineer parts, and test various materials to find the perfect fit. Today, we’re their go-to printer for every piece of tooling because we found a way to give them the best of both worlds — a dramatic cost reduction with a 10-day turnaround time.
We’re proud to offer problem-solving 3D printing services because we believe it’s the right way to do business. Our customers should know exactly what they’re printing before we print it. They should be paying for a solution, not a new problem. And they shouldn’t have to figure out that solution on their own.
