3D Printing Impact
• Rapid Iteration & Prototyping• Risk Mitigation• Lot-Size One, ex. Bio Medical• Bio-Mimicry• Part Consolidation• Education• Art & Jewelry• Visualization / Architecture• Reverse Engineering
• Subtractive Manufacturing• Material = Free (or Cheap)• Geometry/Shape = $$$• Lot size dependent• Design to Fabricate
• Additive Manufacturing• Material = $$$• Geometry/Shape = Free• Lot size independent• Slow (today) 4-10 mm/hr• Design to Function
Start-up Stats
• Founded 1/2013• $1.5M investment• 3 Partners, 5 FTEs• $700K IEDC Incentives• Seeking biz leaders, $M• Coverage in IBJ, IndyStar• Partnership with Library• 2013 Sales ~ $100K
