Halloween is less than 29 days away…
Have you got your custom Jack-O-Lanterns yet?
Better order soon before time runs out!
Looking to draw attention to your business?
How about a simple 3D Printed logo or slogan from your company? Maybe you want something more functional? Why not add secret or hidden features to the concept such as a hidden Business Card Dispenser, Holders for Pens, or even a Candy Dispenser?
A special thanks to Denis Brisson of BNI for having us design and print the BNI logo below.
Happy STAR WARS Day!
In preparation for the big day I finally put together my TK Blaster from the Force Awakens movie. It was a low res print as I wanted to see how things fit together in real life as the design was something that was given to me and not something I actually did. The printing provided me with a lot of good feedback as a number of parts did not fit (notably the scope inside its housing), its possible the tolerances were off due to the resolution, but some of them seemed really off. I also had some warping problems with some of the parts and later (much later) figured out a means to correct the problem before/during printing (see this article for more details). All in all though it gave me some good numbers to work with to start building a proper quote for anyone wishing to have one of their own!


For those of you who have done business with us or been to a trade show that we had a booth at, you’ve noticed our cute Wildcat USB Thumb Drive that we often give away. As you can tell this little guy is out Wildcat mascot, I originally designed him as a nifty little cat that would catch people’s attention and personify the company’s image of “out of the box” or “wild” thinking, mobility and agility in working in a clients aspirations, design requests and ideas as well as provide a useful tool to remind people when they use the thumb drive of us (our website is on the bottom and become more visible when people plug it into their computer). I did all the design work myself, even printed a couple of 3D printed versions of it to vet the concept, before sending it out to get mass produced. This process is typical of the kind of work we’d like to be doing for you, taking cool ideas, do the modelling, engineering and prototyping of the design to help you take your concept to the patent office and then to a manufacturer to take it to market.
