Dimensional Innovations

Our trip to Dimensional Innovations was really interesting. It was cool to see a place of work that included most, if not all, aspects and 'stops' in the making of products. Also, I liked that we visited a place that doesn't make specific products, they are consulted by clients. They 'bridge the gap between design and engineering', which was awesome to see. DI started doing theater work, but now works on the wide range of custom fabrication. One product that they were working on when we visited was the spherical chandelier. I thought this was a really cool, and elegant, design for a chandelier, and it was also cool to know they designed it and are working on it. DI uses materials like wood, aluminum, acrylic, diamond, MDF, PVC, sintra, and more. They have all the normal forming, cutting, and joining technologies like heating/melting, CNC router, table, band, and chop saws, and more. I liked how they start projects on their own, and that their products aren't 100% client-based.
