INDUSTRIAL DESIGNERS: need a good prototype shop?

Fast iterations don't just come from smart CAD or modular parts. They come from partnerships, where your vendors are solving, not just building.

We just wrapped a large-format prototype with Gary Golden at 3D Solutions:

​ • Four 6-foot-long 3D printed components​ • Custom-machined aluminum parts​ • Welded assemblies​ • Special order materials and hardware​ • All delivered in under three weeks

That only happens when your vendor understands the “why” behind the design.

If you're treating prototyping like a handoff, you're slowing down your entire process. Speed comes from shared ownership. You don’t just need a fabricator. You need a co-conspirator.

And Gary is one hell of a good partner!​

*Not a paid promotion. They just treated me well so I’m returning the favor. Link in comments*​
