» EngATech Inc. Receives 2010 Innovator of the Year Award Second Year in a Row

EngATech is recognized for their three dimensional printing solutions for engineering and design companies

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma (April 13, 2010) - The Journal Record is an established leader in recognizing companies that foster economic development in Oklahoma.  Tuesday night they hosted the Innovator of the Year awards ceremony to help celebrate business innovation by honoring Oklahomans who set themselves apart with products and services that change the marketplace and make this state a better place to live and work. 

    "This year’s honorees are from around the state with products and services that exemplify an innovative spirit.  From the highest technologies to unique products and training methods, this group represents breakthroughs we feel justify their recognition.  This year’s group includes entrepreneurs from a diverse range of industries such as aerospace, architecture, e-commerce, energy, education, and government leaders,” said The Journal Record President and Publisher, Mary Melon. 

     EngATech Inc. was recognized with the 2010 Innovator of the Year award for providing 3D printing solutions to engineering and design companies.  "We are honored to be among the caliber of companies and innovations recognized during the ceremony," said EngATech Founder, Clay Slaton.  “Innovator of the Year is a prestigious award and we are excited to be apart of it for the second year in a row.  We are proud to be a representative of Oklahoma and thank all the entries and recipients for making Oklahoma a better place."  EngATech was awarded Innovator of the Year in 2009 for their customizable SolidWorks Computer Aided Design Training.

    In the field of industrial and high-end product design, achieving highly accurate fit, function and form testing is as essential as confidentiality. EngATech's decision last year to add the Objet Alaris30 3D printing system to its line of products and services was aimed at helping its clients get their inventions to market faster and cheaper.  “The Objet 3D printing technology allows users to create ideas in a 3D CAD system and then just "print" it out. But instead of it printing in two dimensions on paper, it prints in 3D as a plastic part that can be taken out of the system to hold, test, show off, etc,” said Slaton.

    EngATech's new 3D printing solutions help companies catch costly errors early on, saving them time and money. After designing a product, it is ideal to test it out with a prototype to make sure everything is accurate. With these machines in house, companies can maintain confidentiality of their designs and with the speed and low cost of parts, can do many basic fit/form/function checks early on in the design process.

    "Because of the level of our technology, we can boast higher detail, dimensional accuracy, speed and most importantly office-friendliness than our competitors.  Previously, prototyping was either accurate, but not strong, or strong, but not as accurate, and you had to send your electronic files off and have your prototypes shipped to you. Now you can have accurate and strong parts, but more than that have the technology right at your own desk," Slaton said.

    Slaton credits his success to the ability and desire to continue growing, learning and seeking the counsel of those in the Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO).  "The EO Oklahoma Chapter provides an abundance of valuable resources every entrepreneur should access.  Education, shared experiences, connections and innovative thinking are just the start to what I gain as an EO member."

    EngATech is the sole distributor of Objet's 3D printing system in the five-state region consisting of Oklahoma, Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi.
