The Engineering Entrepreneur Podcast


Aug 22, 2016

Justin Shook is the founder of shookideas.com. His company manufactures products for others as well as products his company has designed. He is a firm believer in the power of 3D printing and all of his products are 3D printed. He currently has a lineup of Ultimakers and a Form Labs  SLA printer.

We talk about how Justin started in 3D printing, how he has come up with unique products made with 3D printing, how not all products have worked out and his advice for other entrepreneurs who want to get into designing and selling products.

My key takeaways:

  1. 3D printing is changing the world with manufacturing. Look at his Nintendo game case as an example. If you want to purchase a case, go here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShookIdeas?ref=search_shop_redirect
  2. Not all products will be a big hit nor will they all go the way you planned. Justin explained that one of his products flopped, despite testing on his end.
  3. Be in business to be the best you can be at providing that product or service. Don’t simply be the least expensive.
