Case Study
Bent River’s engineering and prototype machine development service provided a solution for a client in the 3D printing industry who required a larger tank for their post-finishing process. Working closely with their developers, we co-designed a solution utilizing traditional machining and 3D printing, resulting in a higher-capacity model that decreased the time needed to remove support material, increased output, and achieved higher product quality. Due to our previous successful collaboration with members of their team, the client was confident in our engineering capabilities and machine-manufacturing expertise, leading to their satisfaction with the final product and even selling the alpha machine to their customers on the spot.
