CAD DESIGN, PROTOTYPING
& 3D MODELING
Bauen Innovations brings your ideas to life through precise prototyping and product development.​
Starting from Scratch?
If you have a simple sketch, we’ll transform it into a detailed digital blueprint, capturing every detail of your concept.
Have Detailed Plans?
Our team can refine and optimize your existing designs, ensuring they are ready for 3D Printing or other fabrication method.​


​From Digital Design to Physical Product
With our 3D printing expertise, we can turn your finalized 3D files (STL files) into tangible prototypes or finished products.
Comprehensive Solutions for All Professionals. Our integrated service offerings enable you to realize your ideas with precision and quality, all in one place.
OUR DESIGN TECHNOLOGY
We leverage a wide range of technologies in our design process including:
-
3D Scanning: Capture real-world objects and convert them into precise digital models. This technology is perfect for reverse engineering or creating accurate replicas of existing items.
-
Virtual Reality (VR) Testing: We test our designs in a fully immersive virtual environment.
-
CAD Design: Use of industry-leading CAD software to create detailed digital models.
-
3D Printing: We bring prototype designs to life quickly with FDM & SLA 3D printing.

CASE SUMMARIES
Bauen Innovations was approached by Ports America Chesapeake, the largest port operator in the United States, to address a unique challenge. The port required a customized ignition starter solution for all 600 of their Dodge Caravans to enhance the transportation efficiency of port workers. Beginning with a physical clay model to conceptualize the initial design, the project evolved through comprehensive CAD design and real-world testing. Over the course of a year, our team engaged in a detailed iterative process, frequently visiting the port to ensure the solution met every specific need. This collaboration culminated in the successful delivery of a tailored, SLA 3D-printed ignition starter, showcasing Bauen Innovations' ability to provide innovative and customized engineering solutions

How long does a typical 3D printer repair take?The duration of a repair can vary depending on the complexity of the issue and the volume of work we currently have. Repairs typically take anywhere between 1-6 weeks. We aim to provide efficient and timely service to get your printer up and running as quickly as possible, but please understand 3D printer repair, as opposed to other electronic and technical repairs, is a more time consuming process for the following reasons: Iterative Approach: 3D printers are iterative, meaning technicians adjust settings, run tests, and evaluate results, each cycle of which can span hours. We may need to run a 12 hour test print, just to have it fail and be back to square one. Unlike other electronic device repair in which you can make an adjustment and immediately see if it worked, 3D printers require extensive print time for testing. Calibration Needs: Achieving optimal results demands precise calibration involving parts testing, bed leveling, XYZ axis calibration, belt tensioning, and more - all of which is time-intensive. Problem-Solving: Identifying the root cause of a print failure can be tricky. Is it hardware, software, or a design error? Determining this often requires a methodical elimination process- which takes time. Parts Delivery Time: Given the diversity of 3D printer brands and models, sourcing the correct parts can be challenging. While some components arrive quickly, others may take up to 3 weeks, especially if they're specialized or need to be imported. Additionally, parts availability can fluctuate, leading to delays. In some cases, we may need to wait for back-ordered parts, or manufacturers may have extended lead times, further extending the repair process.
