Burton Snowboards Utilizes Additive Manufactured Parts for The Board Of Beers


Customization is one of the biggest advantages Additive Manufacturing technologies have to offer.  Burton Snowboards recently utilized the durability of Selective Laser Sintering to create some unique items for a local brew pub at the request of Founder & Chairman, Jake Burton.  

The Shed Brewery in Stowe, VT is a favorite post Mountain destination for locals and tourists alike.  One of hottest items on the menu is the Sample Ski, a mini ski with 6 samples of The Shed's tasty nectar.  After years of irritation that there wasn't a Sample Snowboard, Jake asked the R&D crew to make some custom sample holders based on the Original hand-shaped boards he made back in the day.
