Dimensional Innovations is a company in Southern Kansas City Kansas, Marriam, that custom builds metal elements and signage. They are a little reminiscent of A Zahner, in their build techniques and client/work size. Their approach is slightly different however,
Their market is a mix between the market of A Zahner and Star Signs, they have large facade works but they also have a lot of signage work. They also can work with commissioned artists to assist them in bringing to life a piece of work with their large scale building and tooling.
Their materials are mostly aluminum, plastic, and wood as most places are. The materials they were using aren't very surprising by this point as our class had seen quite a few of these types of places over the course of the class.
Their cutting technologies are normal as well, they have shears and breaks and CNC routers. they also do some hand cuts... ouch.
Their main joining technology is welding however hey also do use riveting and mechanical joints.
The side projects that Dimensional Innovations works on is very interesting, they were working on a hanging LED light screen, and in their basement they had another start up business that found a new use for a relatively new type of plastic for medical cabinetry that forms with no edges and cleans very easily and deters germs.
