Commercial Printer Details Pros, Cons of 3D Printing

"I always felt the way to survive and thrive in this business is to invest in what you do for your life's work," Corliss observes.

So Far, So Good

How has Braintree Printing done with its Dimension 1200es 3D printer? Not too bad, considering it's not an offering tailor-made for Corliss' customer base. The knock on 3D is that it is largely devoid of repeat business, with predominantly one-off projects coming through the door. Not true. One customer, a battery producer, has two or three offerings in the prototype stage. That client will produce a shell, go back and tweak it, then have Corliss produce another.
