Having a design company like Fathom with 3D printing expertise was a perfect opportunity for East Bay EDA to demonstrate the power of partnership and collaboration available right here in our neighborhood. Fathom\u2019s immediate receptiveness to the concept and willingness to build on the inaugural effort in 2013 was just phenomenal.\u201d<\/em><br>\u2014 Scott Peterson, Deputy Director at East Bay Economic Development Alliance<\/p>\n\t\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>For a second year in a row, Fathom took on the challenge of creating a unique trophy for the 2014 East Bay Innovation Awards hosted by East Bay EDA (Economic Development Alliance).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\">\n\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"229\" height=\"300\" class=\"wp-image-5542\" src=\"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/app\/uploads\/2016\/11\/award-with-lights-cyan-yellow-sm-229x300-1.jpg\" alt=\"Award With Lights Cyan Yellow Sm X\"\/>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The team envisioned an illuminated 3D printed award that represented the winners\u2019 innovative contributions to the community, as well as provide inspiration through Fathom\u2019s creativity and advanced manufacturing technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fathom also included its technology partner, Lawrence Livermore National Labs, as a true demonstration of the collaborative culture among East Bay innovators and industry leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Initial concepts were hand sketched then developed in CAD using Rhino modeling software. The internal electronic light assembly was modeled in SolidWorks. The team then combined the rough concepts and hosted the design on GrabCAD to include Lawrence Livermore National Labs scientists in the iteration process, leveraging each contributors\u2019 expertise and strengths\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-50\">\n\t\t<a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/app\/uploads\/pdf\/2016\/11\/Fathom_case_study_EDA_award_highres.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Download PDF \u2192<\/b><\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n<\/div>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fathom created an illuminated 3D printed trophy for the 2014 East Bay Innovation Awards, collaborating with East Bay EDA and Lawrence Livermore Lab.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":5542,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"tag_industry":[33],"tag_technology":[14],"class_list":["post-5543","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general-news","tag_industry-all-industries","tag_technology-3d-printing-services"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5543","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=5543"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5543\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5542"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5543"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5543"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5543"},{"taxonomy":"tag_industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tag_industry?post=5543"},{"taxonomy":"tag_technology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fathommfg.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tag_technology?post=5543"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
