Quick Summary
ErgoKiwi wanted to utilize Metal 3D Printing for a latch used in their ergonomic cutting tool. They were underwhelmed by the visual quality of another Metal 3D Printing service, so they came to 3DEO for help. According to the company, the new finish dramatically improved the final product.
Challenge
ErgoKiwi was a crowdfunded startup that did not want to pay the high startup costs of traditional manufacturing processes and hoped to find an on-demand manufacturing, low-cost alternative. ErgoKiwi was disappointed by the quality and surface of binder jetting and the high cost of DMLS.
Solution
ErgoKiwi found Metal 3D Printing could be a great way to solve the problem of up-front costs by eliminating tooling/setup costs. 3DEO delivered parts that left ErgoKiwi “blown away” by the quality and surface finish, all while beating the cost of the other Metal 3D Printing service.
