OUR JOURNEY TO INNOVATION

In 2018, founder Brandon Kostinsky began working on Bauen (pronounced 'Bawn') without a business plan or a clear path forward. It was hard to put a finger on it at the time - but what amazed him in retrospect was that it exposed real gaps between theory and reality. The digital and the physical.

 

Coming from a family restaurant background, there was no obvious bridge into manufacturing or engineering—only long hours, self-teaching, and a growing sense that this, and other '3D' technology could (and will) solve real problems if it was taken seriously enough.

One by One Brandon began assembling a team; but not just any team. A team of brilliant minds not being put to use because they cant make it into the office at 9am if there life depended on it - or don't confirm to the conventional 'team' mentality.  Minds that don't thrive on schedules or titles, but excelled when given hard problems, ownership, and room to think and grow.

Early projects didn’t arrive because of reputation or scale. They arrived because someone was willing to trust us, and we were willing to take responsibility for our clients project when others wouldn’t.

Broken parts with no drawings.

Obsolete components with no manufacturer support. Printers in for repair that had been written off.

Progress was slow and often costly. Mistakes were paid for in lost family time, effort on processes that failed and so much else. Over time, though, those lessons accumulated. Experience became method. Method became structure. What worked once was carried forward and refined on the next project.

As trust grew, so did the complexity of the work. Responsibility deepened. The environment became demanding, honest, and intolerant of shortcuts—and that is what shaped the people who stayed. The team formed not through hiring plans, but through shared commitment to understanding problems fully and carrying them through to real solutions. Everyone here does this work because they care about it and we can do amazing work together that we cant apart. 

Today, Bauen Innovations reflects the path that built it, and, what started as one desktop printer is now a place where broken ideas get fixed, lost parts get found, and the 'impossible' gets built.

 MEET THE FOUNDERS

Brandon Kostinsky (far left) founded Bauen in 2018. In 2021, Chuck Daniels (middle) joined the team, and together they became the engine behind Bauen Innovations.

Brandon brings method and relentless process to everything we do, building the structure that makes real innovation possible.

Chuck is the mad scientist — relentlessly inventive and deeply analytical.
He builds solutions no one else would even think to try.

THE TIMELINE

We Solve the Right Problems

We only take on work that aligns with our values and strengths. If we don’t believe in it, we don’t touch it.​

​Matthew 6:24

​“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other.”

We Stay When It’s Hard

We don’t quit when things get messy. We show up, push through, and finish what we start—with excellence.
Because others stayed for us when it was messy, too.

Galatians 6:2

"Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

Purpose Over Ego

We lead with humility. No titles, no hype—just honest work that lifts people up and solves real problems.

Matthew 20:26

“Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant.”
