What’s in the Future of Tri-point 3D Printing?
Unlike Tri-Point Studios, I expect 3D printing and 3D modeling to become an increasingly important part of Tri-Point. The goal is to move beyond models and projects that simply look interesting and focus more heavily on functional designs, experimental 3D-printed products, manufacturing techniques, printer-related projects, and other applications of 3D printing.
Possible New Products and Services
I would like to expand Tri-Point 3D Printing into more physical products and manufacturing-focused services, while also exploring advanced manufacturing techniques. The long-term goal is to help bring these technologies closer to the front lines of manufacturing and make advanced manufacturing tools and methods more accessible.
Project 3
Tri-point Matrix: A decentralized 3D-printing network designed to connect customers with nearby manufacturing capacity, helping make custom parts faster, more accessible, and more locally produced.
These images are conceptual examples of what Tri-Point Matrix and its supporting manufacturing infrastructure could eventually look like. The idea is still in an early stage, so these are not final designs, but they illustrate the concept of distributed, local 3D-printing capacity connected through a larger network.
