OBSESS3D Printing, LLC is seeking government grants totaling $85,000 to enhance its operations. The funds will be allocated as follows: $10,000 for business essentials, $20,000 for 3D printing equipment, $5,000 for miscellaneous tools, and $50,000 for curriculum development.
The company plans to expand over the next five years by offering continuous classes aimed at nurturing future engineers and inventors. They intend to utilize social media to make 3D printing technology engaging and comprehensible, and also introduce a subscription-based service for ongoing revenue.
The applicant has a strong personal connection to 3D printing, having discovered it at age 14 in Francis Tuttle's Pre-Engineering Academy. With degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Engineering, along with active involvement in advisory and educational boards, the applicant is dedicated to giving back to the community that shaped their journey.
This grant presents an opportunity to foster a significant technological advancement, comparable to historic breakthroughs. While competing against established companies like Proto Labs and ID Tech, OBSESS3D Printing aims to simplify 3D printing education and eliminate misconceptions that it is only for the academically advanced. By their unique approach and local curriculum development, they plan to make 3D printing accessible to a broader audience, countering the higher costs associated with competitors.

Business Plan
Over the next 5 years, I will grow by offering year-round classes geared to developing the next generation of engineers and inventors. Additionally, I plan to leverage the ever-growing social media platforms to make 3D printing technology accessible, entertaining, and universally easy to understand. Furthermore, I plan to make subscription based 3D printing services that will provide residual income. I enrolled in Francis Tuttle's Pre-Engineering Academy in 2004 when I was 14. That was my first exposure to 3D printing, and the technology was categorically life changing for me. I have since gone on to graduate from Oklahoma Christian University as both a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and a Master of Science in Engineering. I am on the Francis Tuttle Engineering Advisory Board, the Francis Tuttle Foundation Board of Trustees, and the Oklahoma Chairman for SkillsUSA Principles of Engineering competition. I have dedicated a large part of my life to give back to the community of educators that helped to develop me into the passionate engineer I am today. If you should choose to invest in me, you're not only investing in the last 18 years of my life, but you are investing in the opportunity for the biggest technological boom since 1903.

Self Identified Competition
1) Proto Labs (for the consumer who wants a custom 3D printed object) 2) Invention City (for customers who need invention assistance) 3) ID Tech (for classes educating on 3D printing) As Albert Einstein famously said, "If you can't explain it to a 6 year old, you don't understand it yourself". I believe this to be the case in 3D printing. My goal is to de-mystify the technology and make it approachable for all ages. I'm more interested in helping millions than making millions. Our greatest hurdle will be to overcome the stigma this technology is only for "smart people", and I believe I have the unique ability to do so. Currently, ID Tech does not have a location in Oklahoma. By working with my connections made through Francis Tuttle, I can create my own version of curriculum specifically geared towards exploring every facet of 3D printing. Additionally, ID Tech has pricing starting at $1,300 per student. I believe that is outrageously overpriced which is why so many people think of 3D printing as inaccessible.
