Product Design, Model Making, Service Bureaus Powered by the B9Creator 3D Printer Why did you choose the B9Creator or what problems were you looking to solve? What make it stand out from the competition? I was an early adopter of CAD and CNC milling. But I'd always held back on 3D printing - the quality just wasn't good enough for the detail level my work is known for. I was running a large format ZCorp printer in my shop for large pieces, but it was a long way off form matching the detail quality I could achieve with my CNC mills. Of course, the problem was trying to jig and mill really organic, 3D forms, too. I committed to purchasing a B9Creator about 24 hours after seeing it for the first time. The B9Creator gave me the detail quality that I needed at small scale without the need for hours of milling and jigging to make a fully 3D object, and the print cost was so affordable! I’m use the B9 not just for finished models, but I will often test print a piece so I can check a design direction, which are very useful in the development of complex items. So print cost, quality of output, machine reliability and speed all came together to make the B9 the right tool for the studio. What's your relationship been like with B9Creations? My relationship with B9Creations has been terrific. They have a good support department. Most interesting as a company is their community building approach among their users. Their tech forum is one of the best I’ve experienced, and actually served as a great example for some of the community building approaches I’m taking while I serve as President of the Association of Professional Model Makers. There is truly a professional learning community among B9Creations use
