3D Printing is a game-changer
Every so often, a new technology changes how problems get solved — the personal computer, the internet, and now AI. Another is reshaping how physical things get made: industrial 3D printing, which is changing everything from how products are developed to how we treat disease. Synnovation was built from day one to turn it into real products, and our first product line is already selling and scaling fast.
3D printing has evolved far beyond that. Today it can produce almost anything — from plastic toys to stainless-steel parts to food, and even living tissue. Here are three of the main types now readily available for developing innovative solutions to real problems.
The breadth is deliberate. Most companies are built around a single product; Synnovation is built around a single capability — industrial 3D printing — general enough to solve unrelated problems across very different markets. That’s the model: a repeatable engine for turning real problems into real products.
Everyday problems, solved well
Sparrow-B-Gone! ™ (selling now), Rain-B-Gone! ™ , X-Dry ™ , and more — affordable products for large markets with natural cross-sell. Where competitors exist they are only partially effective, a gap our 3D-printed designs are built to close.
Specialized tools & accessibility
Including BassoonPerch ™ , which protects musicians from a career-ending injury, and a system in development to help people with Parkinson’s and other shaking disorders eat more easily.
Sparrow-B-Gone! ™ turned an overlooked problem into a product people buy: more than 2,000 units sold to date, with orders now scaling.
Accepted as a Chewy vendor, sold on Etsy and direct, and carried in select Wild Birds Unlimited stores — including one of the country’s top-five WBU locations.
Founded and led by Ed Harris , a serial entrepreneur whose first company reached the Inc. 500 (#97, 1988) and was profiled in Venture magazine. The terminal-emulation software he designed in 1982 is still sold today — more than four decades later.
About 3D Printing
Most people know just one kind of 3D printing. Three main technologies now make it possible to solve problems that were once too slow or too costly to attempt — and to make things conventional manufacturing simply can’t.
Products
A family of independent businesses under one roof. Some solve everyday problems for a great many people; others are innovative solutions for those living with disabilities — including a way to help people with Parkinson’s and similar conditions eat more easily, wherever they are.
How We Build
We’re building a company from the ground up to reflect how people want to work today — carefully growing the infrastructure, people and systems alike, to handle high-volume production and distribution as demand arrives.
Have a real problem worth solving?
That’s the entire reason we exist — and increasingly, people come to us with problems looking for a solution. Whether you’re a retailer, a partner, or someone with a challenge the old technologies couldn’t touch, we’d like to hear from you.
