Summary

Join the webinar with special guest, Rick Beddoe, a Mechanical Engineer from Minnetronix, for the full details of this case study on July 9th, 2020 at 10:00am CST. Rick Beddoe, a Mechanical Engineer at Minnetronix, says “We deal with a lot of early iterations of products from customers who send us Industrial Design images, and they ask us to print. Lauren Adey, the Additive Manufacturing Specialist at EAC, is a subject matter expert in Formlabs printers and was able to work closely with the engineers to provide quick service and support when ordering new equipment and materials. Ultimately, I’d love to expand that capability to knock the socks off more of our customers.” By advancing their 3D printing technology, Minnetronix is able to cut down on material costs, increase time-to-market, and provide quicker turn-around for customers. By not having additional inventory (manufacturing in-house) or having to reach a minimum order quantity (outsourcing to a model shop), Minnetronix was able to save around $10k on this project by producing the final part on their Formlabs printer.
