About

Dimensional Innovations is made up of project developers and managers, designers, engineers, artists and fabricators. Their all-inclusive shop houses a design team which translates obscure ideas into viable ideas; an engineering department that make the ideas feasible; and an expansive shop that allows the creation of installations with woods, metals, plastics, graphics, cutting edge A/V and everything in between.[1]

Approach

As a design and specialty fabrication firm, their team is able to approach projects in a unique and efficient way. From the beginning the project managers consider the project's application, design intent and budget. The collaborative approach at DI puts the designer, engineers, fabricators and estimators all around the same table. This ensures the highest quality and saves the client time and money. The complete in-house team of industrial designers, interior architects, graphic designers, engineers and high-craft fabricators work in a complete digital fabrication process, beginning with design drawings and engineering documents and moving to a full production of parts, graphics and special effects. All of the in-house capabilities give them greater control and accountability throughout the process.[2]

Projects

Kansas City Public Library Parking Garage Book Bindings
Dimensional Innovations professionally photographed rare books and used software to modify and place the desired titles. To create a sense of comfort and safety, an aluminum substructure that includes clear windows was produced through the center of the books, allowing light into the parking garage. 3M scotch print with translucent printing was applied to the substructure to create the books.[3]

Instinct Billboard at 5 Times Square.
Dimensional Innovations collaborated with Goodby Silverstein Partners to construct a 3-D active instinct phone display for Sprint and Samsung in 5 Times Square. It was imperative to the client that the large-scale model, at 94 times its actual size, look identical to the actual phone. In order to achieve the meticulous match of the metallic surrounding trim piece, Dimensional Innovations integrated the use of a new chroming machine. This unique process allowed us to apply sprayed chrome paint to the aluminum surround to perfectly emulate the material on the actual phone. Additional materials included Dibond that was coated in a black lacquer, a 22'-4.8" x 11'-8.8" LED monitor to stream live video for the face of the phone, and an aluminum superstructure to support the substantial piece. The specific attention to materiality in this project was essential to its overall success.[4]

Kansas City Rail Experience
The KC Rail Experience, a permanent exhibit at Union Station Kansas City, focuses on the way Union Station and its rails helped to shape Kansas City and America. The KC Rail Experience is devoted to the human stories of the rail. The stories are told through the eyes of twenty 'ghosts' who used Union Station from 1915 to 1955. Along with the human stories, the museum educates visitors about how trains and rails work.

The museum showcases vintage rolling stock, a locomotive simulator and a number of A/V and interactive exhibits. Additionally, visitors may view artifacts from private collections.[5]
