Keith Weidman - CEO, Form Technologies
The Signicast and DDM partnership allows us to better serve the defense and aerospace industries. Rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing capabilities assist in achieving fully functional parts at a fraction of conventional cost and lead-time.
Marc Riquelme - President, Signicast and OptiMIM
I write this note to recommend DDM systems products and processes. Signicast has been working with Suman Das for more than a year on developing several new products using the LAMP process and ceramic 3D printing. We recently signed a partnership with DDM to further expand our additive manufacturing capability and offering. The partnership between Signicast and DDM is evidence of the exciting advancement in precision casting technologies and will open up new design opportunities for our customers. Over time Signicast expects to transition this technology to full scale production in addition to prototyping.
Cliff Fisher - COO, Seacast
Suman Das and his DDM team are developing technology that is industry changing! The forward thinking approach to a centuries old process in the investment casting world is the number one reason why partnering with Suman & DDM is an easy decision. I first was introduced to Suman many years ago and to see this relentless "bull-dog" approach to never giving up on the development of this process is what makes him stand out versus many others that have tried.
Brett Lyons - Principal Technical Program Manager, Amazon
Suman Das has the depth of experience and breadth of knowledge required to make a step change contribution to additive manufacturing. Other companies, both large and small, have failed to consider the technical and economic implication of their additive based ceramic casting technology, but Suman's rigorous and thoughtful approach sets DDM apart.
Rob Meyerson - Founder and CEO, Delalune Space
Suman has developed a revolutionary product that will shorten delivery times of critical parts from years to months. He is truly a disrupter in the field.
Diego Tamburini - Principal Industry Lead, Cloud for Manufacturing at Microsoft
DDM offers an innovative model of what I would call "casting-as-a-service" on the cloud by allowing customers to just provide the CAD model of their parts and let DDM take care of the design, manufacture, and storage of the cast. They also use 3D-printing to print the ceramic shell of the cast, which introduces considerable efficiencies both from the material utilization and time perspectives.
Thomas Pang - CEO, Additive Japan Corp.
Suman is excellent in technology and second to none in his energy and drive to get things done. He worked on a materials innovation project with me in the past and I saw in him a superior ability to strategizing his approaches and overcoming challenges to reach the ultimate target
Kedar Murthy - Chief Commercial Officer, Boston Materials
Suman and team have developed break thru technology to disrupt the investment casting industry. Exceptionally talented founder with great vision grounded in facts.
Jeremee Weatherby - Manager, Emergent Technologies and Incubators, GE
Suman is on the leading edge of casting technology. His method has the potential to completely disrupt the industry and provide an alternative method to DMLM additive printing. Suman's technical depth, network, and personal passion provides all the key ingredients for success.
Prith Harasgama - President, Crosstown Power GmbH
Suman's and his team have established a revolutionary manufacturing process which has the potential to reduce lead times & costs and raise the quality of industrial cast parts. This will enable truly innovative ideas to be realised and rapidly launch new products into the market for many of DDM's clients.
Shoumen Datta - Research Affiliate, MIT
Dr Suman Das co-discovered the field of 3D printing as a part of his PhD thesis, co-created the concept of cyber-manufacturing and a co-contributor to economic growth through innovations at DDM.
Alan Amling - CEO at Thrive and Advance LLC
Suman and the team at DDM are delivering on the promise of AM by focusing on what can be done today vs what might be done in the future. The LAMP technology allows complex castings to be manufactured in a short time frame for less cost. This focus is what separates the doers at DDM from the dreamers.
Jon Schaeffer - Senior Manager, Advanced Materials and Processes Engineering, GE
Suman and the DDM team have created a technology that is hard to replicate even with the advent of so many 3D printing businesses and modalities. GE is proud to work with DDM on several high technology castings for our Power business.
John McIntyre - Director, CIBER at Georgia Tech
Suman Das is the perfect and unique combination of a world class researcher, a top professor able to communicate his material to a diverse audience of skilled individuals , and grasping and mastering the process of converting invention and innovation into commercial potential with multiple applications in various fields. Having known him for a long while, I have seen him handle the full range of complex and multiple tasks that characterize the life of the successful high tech entrepreneurial leader.
