DI Labs is a digital manufacturing powerhouse created by a team of product development engineers in 2013. Frustrated by the limitations of early 3D Printing technologies, they developed patented 3D Printing hardware and later on, launch their prototyping and production facility.
This approach to “accelerating innovation” has demonstrated its efficiency hence the reproduction of this model for emerging market needs. 2020 therefore came with the need to expand their project into the most technology-rich digital manufacturing and innovation center in the Midwest. The company is now in the midst of their biggest investment yet – a completely reimagined 20,000 sq/ft (1858m2) innovation lab.
The lab will gather a dedicated Multi-Jet Fusion production room, a post-processing lab as well as an innovation and event center. The ultimate goal of DI Labs is to be a resource for companies that are interested in leveraging AM as a competitive tool.
“History has shown that success in product development and manufacturing requires extreme flexibility, especially in volatile times like these. With our product innovation experience and our unique additive capabilities, we have a significant opportunity to help clients leverage additive technologies to accelerate their innovation process, adapt to market changes, reduce capital expenses and pivot their strategies to meet changing market conditions,” explained Carl Douglass, Co-Founder and President of DI Labs.
The DI Labs advantage lies in their ability to meticulously refine processes and push the limits of each new technology they bring on board.
Brian Douglass, Co-Founder and COO adds, “Unlike others in the industry, our sole objective is not to just run production, but to provide meaningful solutions. We’re product development engineers who are absolutely committed to finding the right solution for each problem a client brings to us – whether that requires a one-off functional prototype, a custom finishing process or thousands of parts delivered the next day.”
DI Labs is located in Minnesota. The facility is set to be completed this summer with a livestream reveal scheduled for August 19, 2020. It will be an online, interactive event designed to provide engineers, designers, entrepreneurs, and supply chain professionals with a behind-the-scenes look at a state-of-the-art digital manufacturing facility focused on innovation, creativity and quality.
