"I have a lot of trust in Fictiv. That's why I'm eager to bring Fictiv into more of our processes."
“They’re great about answering our questions and giving us immediate attendtion and feedback when we have issues.”
“It really wouldn’t have been possible with traditional manufacturing channels that we’ve worked through. It was a pace that I’ve never really experienced that really enabled some rapid change in the design process."
“Fictiv gave us access to overseas MJF printing that allowed us to quickly produce cost-effective units.”
“When I met Fictiv a few years ago, it really opened my eyes to how business is being done with this younger generation and the online platforming."
"We keep our core techniques, competencies, and abilities in-house and partner with other vendors like Fictiv for the rest. This keeps us lean and efficient, without sacrificing efficiency or capacity."
"With Fictiv, the bandwidth is enormous, so capacity is available."
"Often, we would have to vet new suppliers on the fly during a project, which introduces risk to the timeline and budget."
“The biggest value to me is how available the team at Fictiv is. It’s amazing to be able to walk around the corner and have a conversation about our project. It’s great to be able to engage directly.”
“They do an incredible job connecting my needs as a customer to those suppliers that have the capability, the right competitive cost, and the capacity to build my product and get it to me in a very rapid cycle time.”
"Here at Animax Designs, we take a lot of pride in our design work and the engineering involved to bring that design to life. We’re always looking for ways to help us get accurate parts quickly and easily. Fictiv has allowed us to accomplish a lot of work in a very short time, work that we didn’t think we would be able to handle. If we ever had any questions, we knew that we could have a great conversation with their team and receive answers quickly.”
“With the hundreds and hundreds of parts that we’ve ordered, they come in with an inspection report with actual dimensions marked on the print. Fictiv is the only group that does that for us.”
“We’ve passed up several hundred thousand dollar sales because we couldn’t produce the parts quickly enough.”
“Now, working with Fictiv, we can get instant communication. It really helps us quickly iterate, talk through things on our parts that may need to change, and even get updates on parts and shipments.”
“Everything we make is relatively small, and we have very particular needs for materials. The tolerances are important and unique for compound gears. Fictiv is important for knowing where we are on the cost-quality tradeoff.”
