“If you are designing a product you want to sell, there are a lot of considerations about how customers will use it, how it will be produced, and how intellectual property will be protected. Thinking about the entire process and working directly with inventors allows us to avoid issues early and, from some quotes I have seen, develop products ten times faster and cheaper than other firms providing the same package of services. I think this speaks to what kind of value we bring to our customers,” informs Zimmer.

Community is very important to D3PC. “I have a real love of art, science, and helping people. That is where this all comes from. I think a lot of makers feel that way,” adds Zimmer. “Inventing tools and solving problems is what I naturally do, and I feel really fortunate being able to live my life doing that for other people.” D3PC has worked on a wide variety of projects in the past few years. They have helped all types of people make everything from blow dryer handles to headlights to anatomical models for phlebotomists.

In 2020, D3PC plans to take it a step further by building the infrastructure necessary to launch those products into the market. “We found a way to tap into the knowledge of the people, and we have been developing some really great ideas for big problems like food security, recycling, and new types of materials. Now we are putting together a strategy to take those ideas and launch them as products on the market,” says Zimmer. Currently, D3PC has half a dozen products in development for their initial launch expected later this year
