Case Study: B&G Manufacturing achieves faster production with DVIRC and CCAT additive manufacturing support

B&G Manufacturing cuts fixture lead times with DVIRC and up to $10K AM support

B&G Manufacturing, a manufacturer, faced challenges with slow fixture production and excessive downtime from design changes as their production volumes increased. They partnered with vendor DVIRC and CCAT through the RAMP program to find a low-risk way to evaluate and validate additive manufacturing technology before making a significant investment.

DVIRC implemented a solution that included workforce training, system evaluation, loaner equipment testing, and a six-week production trial with real parts. This hands-on approach, supported by up to $10,000 in reimbursement funding, allowed B&G Manufacturing to confidently select and integrate the right additive systems. The results included reduced lead times and downtime, measurable cycle-time reductions, improved customer responsiveness, and the ability to bring previously outsourced parts in-house.
