CompoKeeper&#8217;s marketing team came to Fathom in need of a functional prototype with quick turnaround. Since the model would be used for a promotional event, it was critical it looked and functioned like the finished product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To expedite the project, Fathom utilized GrabCAD for file sharing and updates. The design was divided into sections, CNC machined out of ABS plastic and painted to match specified Pantone colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All components were assembled and tested for fit accuracy. This complex assembly was completed within a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/app\/uploads\/pdf\/2014\/03\/Fathom_case_study_compokeeper_highres.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download PDF \u2192<\/a><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fathom built a fast-turn functional prototype of CompoKeeper\u2019s compost bin, CNC-machined in ABS and painted to match Pantone colors\u2014assembled and tested in one week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":5266,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"tag_industry":[13],"tag_technology":[23],"class_list":["post-1606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general-news","tag_industry-other-industries","tag_technology-engineering-design-and-support"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1606"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1606\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1606"},{"taxonomy":"tag_industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tag_industry?post=1606"},{"taxonomy":"tag_technology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tag_technology?post=1606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
