The Squid Works Studio Case Study

Squid Works Studio is a custom woodworking company specializing in restoring and creating unique pieces of furniture. The company is owned and operated by Shawn Hicks, a longtime shipwright with a passion for woodworking.

The Challenge

Shawn Hicks, the owner of Squid Works, needed a way to create architectural components quickly and easily. He also wanted to be able to create custom designs that were not available off-the-shelf. Part of this effort, bending wood for round corners with boiling water is a time-consuming process and not very pleasant work.

The Solution

Shawn decided to use a Modix BIG-60 V1 3D printer to create his architectural components. The Modix BIG-60 is a large-format 3D printer that is capable of printing complex objects with high accuracy. This allowed Shawn to create custom designs that were not available off-the-shelf. The Modix BIG-60 is also a fast printer, which allowed Shawn to create his architectural components quickly.

 

In addition to these benefits, 3D printing has also allowed Hicks to save a significant amount of money and time. This has allowed him to reinvest in his business and expand his offerings.

Overall, 3D printing has been a major boon for Hicks’s business. It has allowed him to create high-quality, custom furniture that is both affordable and sustainable. It has also allowed him to save time and money, which he can then reinvest in his business.
