K-State Technology Development Institute

??? At TDI, we jump in where we can make the biggest impact! Swihart Solutions, LLC approached us to laser cut and form custom plates for a CIH planter upgrade. By collaborating with our shop, they fine-tuned their design for efficient manufacturing within our toolset—resulting in quick turnaround times and seamless production. ???? The result? A full MasterFlex installation in just one day! Check out their page to see this innovative solution and more in action. #PrecisionEngineering #AgTech #Manufacturing #KSUTDI #KSU #KStateTDI #Innovation #LaserCutting #Fabrication #PlanterUpgrade #SwihartSolutions #EngineeringExcellence #AgricultureTechnology #FarmEfficiency #SmartFarming #AgEquipment #Prototyping #RapidManufacturing #FiberLaser #PressBrake #MetalFabrication #FutureOfFarming #AdvancedManufacturing #CustomParts #FarmInnovation #TechDevelopment Kansas State University U.S. Economic Development Administration

?? Future Designers in Action! ???? We had the pleasure of hosting Tim McKeown ‘s 2nd-year Industrial Design students from the College of Architecture, Planning, & Design // K-State for an exciting tour of TDI! During their visit, the students explored our shop and additive manufacturing studio, getting a firsthand look at the cutting-edge machines and technologies we use to bring ideas to life. ???? Quinton Berggren also shared insights into our design process, highlighting how we tackle a wide range of projects that come through our doors. It's always inspiring to connect with the next generation of designers and innovators—can’t wait to see where their creativity takes them! ?? #IndustrialDesign #Innovation #FutureDesigners #ArchitectureAndDesign #AdditiveManufacturing #Engineering #DesignThinking #Prototyping #TechnologyDevelopment #KSUTDI #KSU #KstateTDI Kansas State University

Some days, we get to put all our tooling to work! ?????These 10-foot stainless steel parts were precision-cut on our fiber laser before being bent to spec on our RMT press brake—maxing out the entire bed. ?? Did you know that long-formed parts naturally tend to “canoe” or curve during bending? To ensure perfectly straight results, we rely on our built-in automatic crowning compensation.

?? ?? We recently had the privilege of attending K-State Impact Day at the Capitol, where we observed the significant influence that TDI and various other K-State programs have on communities across the state. It was a great opportunity to hear from Sam Browning about how collaborations with K-State have propelled innovation within his organizations. We are honored to contribute and support our Kansas communities.

Take a look at one of the completed pallet stands we recently redesigned and fabricated for a client! ??? ?? You might recognize these components from the ABB cobot welding we showcased some time ago. We revamped these pallet stands to conceal the anchor points, optimizing space usage, and then moved on to fabrication to meet their installation deadline. These pallet stands are built to handle heavy loads—can you guess their weight??? #KStateInnovation #KstateTDI #TechDevelopment #engineering #ksutdi #EDA #palletstand #cobot #welding #Robotics #Automation #Manufacturing #Fabrication #CustomDesign #Metalwork #SmartManufacturing #AdvancedManufacturing #HeavyDuty #PrecisionEngineering #Innovation U.S. Economic Development Administration K-State Engineering Kansas State University

??At K-State Impact Day at the Capitol yesterday, Kansas State University highlighted the power of K-State 105 and the K-State Technology Development Institute (TDI) in supporting Kansas businesses, entrepreneurs, and communities. A huge thank you to Sam Browning founder of Salina, Kansas company, Helio Next, for sharing his story of business growth and resilience. His company has successfully relocated multiple businesses to Kansas, creating jobs and strengthening local economies. Sam showed how #KState105 and the K-State Technology Development Institute (TDI) have been key partners in that growth, helping bridge gaps in innovation, product development, and business expansion. K-State is proud to stand alongside leaders like Sam who are building a stronger, more resilient Kansas. ??
