Tell us about your company and your mission.
“Our business serves as the General Consultant for 3D Design Services, with a focus on rapid prototyping, structural/mechanical processes, and sheet metal design methods. Our team is the first stop for defining your design problem and putting together a project scope.
We are still looking for opportunities to help fill in the gaps in the community, so please offer any suggestions you may have. I am currently hearing that there is a great desire to be taught how to design in 3D and may pursue that. If interested in classes in 3D Design, please let me know. ”
What are some wins you are celebrating?
“We are currently finalizing a modular Cummins Engine Shipping Cart that is reusable and can accommodate a 9L, 12L, or 15L Turbo Engine.
In addition, we are working on partnerships with a few local companies. (Not sure what I will be able to say about this quite yet, maybe I can say with whom.. excited though!!)”
What is the most important lesson you’ve learned throughout your entrepreneurial journey?
“I have learned that there truly is no straight path, and that you will be challenged on multiple angles all at once. The trick to survival is finding out how to manage the work-life balance, and make sure to carve out time for family. If you don’t master the time management yourself, others will use your time for you.”
Z3D Solutions is officially a part of the Fargo-Moorhead founder family. How can our community support you in your next stage of growth?
“I am looking to connect with more small to mid-size businesses that have Mechanical Design Services in the FMWF Area. We specialize in several processes and can help source local fabricators.”
What are you grateful for today?
“I am grateful for the love of my life, Brittany, for sticking by my side throughout this whole journey. It may sound cliche, but it really is true that I would not be here with you all today if I did not have her support throughout the years, since 2009!
I am also profoundly grateful for Emerging Prairie putting on Startup Brew, and for being selected to speak and share my journey here with you all!”
