We print amazing metal parts every day. We can't show 99% of them.
We do metal 3D printing. Every day, we ship parts that look incredible. Complex geometries, perfect surface finish, the kind of stuff that would make an engineer stop and stare.
But when someone asks to see our portfolio? I show them a boring bracket. Or a standard test cube. Or a generic impeller.
Why? Because almost everything we print is for clients. And those clients don't want their proprietary designs posted online. So our best work stays hidden in shipping boxes.
Anyone else in this industry have the same problem? How do you prove your capabilities when your best samples belong to someone else?
