Re: Pueblo, CO Entrepreneurs using Rostock Max
Thanks for noticing and taking the time to post. The cast/splint is my wife's brainchild and her business partner is a golfer who wanted a training aid for his own use (that is my wife and her business partner in the video). It got noticed on the practice greens and has blossomed from there. I'm the printer maintenance guy which keeps me pretty busy (along with the day job). As you can probably tell we're big fans of the Rostock Max. The real challenge with them is just the build volume. Those putting trainers can have a pretty big footprint which is why you can also see the cartesian there. We haven't found anything that beats the delta for the splints and casts though. We have printed models for former NFL pros with them and some of those guys have HUGE arms. And of course my daughter has models in a bunch of colors which she loves to mix and match.
We are working on getting in with some Ortho clinics and are setting up scanning days at one GolfTEC location for the putting trainers.
The cast/splint concept isn't new to 3D printing but the business model and process for mass customization is unique. There are some technology and design hurdles that we had to, and are continuing to, overcome to get this far.
This whole media event started with a shoot for the Discovery Channel's Daily Planet which should air today/tonight in Canada and be available on their website pretty soon. I'm really looking forward to seeing what they do with all the footage they shot. The folks at BirdieBall had one of their putting greens printed with the logos and brought it down the morning of the shoot which turned out really cool.
