Discover enhancements built to streamline your projects whether you’re working solo or across global teams.
In this episode of Make It Better, we're diving into the earliest—and often most critical—stage of the innovation pipeline: turning ideas into physical reality. Joining us is Ricky McDaniel, R&D Engineer III at Dentsply Sirona, to explore how prototypes go from napkin sketch to functional form using tools like 3D printing, small-scale injection molding, and precision machining.
We'll talk about the real-world challenges engineers face when trying to get low-volume parts made, why finding a machine shop willing to take on tiny runs is harder than it should be, and how the best innovators are often the ones who learn to make it themselves.
