Work local. Build local. πŸ“

TDI partnered with a local entrepreneur to develop a quarter scale combine prototype designed to demonstrate an innovative crop cutting technology.

The project began with reverse engineering a front deck mower platform before moving into collaborative concept development and in-house fabrication. Using our Bodor sheet/tube laser, press brake, and laser welder, the team brought the client’s vision to life with a functional prototype.

Projects like this highlight how collaboration and advanced manufacturing can help turn ideas into reality. πŸš€πŸ’‘
