Standing nine stories tall, inside Allegiant Stadium, is what’ s believed to be the largest 3D-printed structure in the world – a sculptural torch that stops visitors in their tracks. The Al Davis Memorial Torch photographs beautifully and is a hit on social media. It also demonstrates the kind of manufacturing capability that is rarely found under one roof. Behind that torch sits Dimensional Innovations( DI), a Kansas City-based design, build, and technology company that has spent three decades turning ambitious ideas into physical, functional reality for some of the biggest brands and venues in the world.
Established in 1993, DI’ s history dates back to AMC Movie Theatres and the formation of the megaplex idea. The company played a huge role in building the interiors of theaters around the globe – leading to far more work within the cinema industry. CEO Tucker Trotter and President Tom Collins, both join us to expand on DI’ s current notable projects and the much-anticipated transition to employee ownership.
“ Back in the early 2000s, we faced some challenges in the cinema industry, similar to what it’ s facing now, which forced us to diversify our business,” reveals Tucker.“ This was a good strategic move in the long run because it allowed us to expand into as many markets as possible, while adding more capabilities and bringing in companies that help us provide an end-to-end solution. Today, we continue to deliver maximum value and the best speed of delivery in what we do.”
Having a dedicated team tasked with solving complicated problems is a big part of why we’ re able to stay on the cutting edge of innovation
