Case Study: TechnoFrolics slashes build times to under 45 seconds with Incredibuild

TechnoFrolics shows how a small business can deliver fast to dozens of global clients with Incredibuild

TechnoFrolics is a small, internationally known design studio near Boston led by founder David Durlach that creates interactive exhibits and kinetic artworks for museums and aquariums worldwide. As a nearly one‑person development shop coding in C++ with Microsoft Visual Studio, TechnoFrolics struggled with slow, frequent builds (over 2.5 minutes) that disrupted focus, slowed debugging and threatened delivery schedules—so they turned to Incredibuild’s build‑acceleration tools and its graphical build monitor.

By deploying Incredibuild to distribute and speed up compilations, TechnoFrolics cut build times from over 2.5 minutes to under 45 seconds, enabling continuous focus during dozens of daily rebuilds, faster debugging, higher code quality and on‑time delivery to dozens of global clients. The measurable impact—builds reduced to ≈0:45 from ≈2:30+—translated into significant time savings, better developer productivity and reduced “collateral damage” from slow builds thanks to Incredibuild.
