“”For 41 years I have been working at Philips Drachten as Demand Manager Prototyping. I have been doing business with SKM for 30 years. That started when they were still part of Philips. When they started for themselves, I remained a customer. When Philips has a new idea for a household appliance such as a hoover or coffee machine, I take care of a fully functioning prototype. Through years of cooperation, I have built up a good relationship with SKM. When I ask them to develop a model, they understand what I want. I like doing business with SKM because they are friendly and keep their promises. That makes SKM a top supplier for me.””

“”Actually, I’m already retired, but I still work 3 days a week at Bosch Security systems. I have been supporting the purchasing department there for more than 12 years. I order all the parts and services needed for the development of new security products. Bosch has been working with SKM for many years. When I need a prototype or mockup, I ask SKM to make it for me. I prefer to pick up the models myself in Helmond. When I wanted to have four security cameras painted for a trade fair in Las Vegas, they got it done within a week. The fact that SKM offers more than just 3D printing is not an advantage for me, but a gift! They can not only make the models of our outdoor dome cameras, they can also finish them perfectly. SKM is a reliable partner for me that goes for quality. When I need a model quickly, they are always there for me.””

“”As an independent industrial designer, I am regularly hired by clients in the high-tech, toy and packaging industry. In innovation projects, I like to work with prototypes on a true scale, with which I can test the functioning or the user interaction. For this I often make use of the services of SKM. In doing so, they think along well, give advice and, when necessary, deliver a little faster. This distinguishes them from competitors. SKM looks at my input with a designer’s eye and thinks along with me. They understand what I mean as a designer and that makes the collaboration very pleasant.””
