CONTRACT MANUFACTURING PROFILE
The Future for Impossible Objects Kaplan sees a bright future for Impossible Objects. He joined the team after getting to know Swartz while working at Eudora Global. Eudora was looking at investing in a different technology of Swartz’s, and as the two got to know each other, Swartz shared his new process with Kaplan.
“Bob starting telling me about the 3D printing, and I started getting excited about it,” Kaplan said, and he became even more excited when he looked at what was going on in the marketplace.
Kaplan was informally working with Swartz in early 2014 until June, when the two formalized the relationship with Kaplan’s appointment as CEO. It was only after that the company started stepping up commercializa- tion and sales efforts.

While the company is making parts for customers today, both Swartz and Kaplan agree that the ultimate goal is to sell CBAM machines to manufacturing companies. “Our long term goal is to compete with injection molding,” Swartz said, adding that Impossible Objects would like to be a leader in functional parts for manufacturing. He also said that the company expects to have a prototype of its CBAM machine in the near future. Kaplan said he sees the com- pany selling CBAM machines and materials to a growing and dedicated user base.
Kaplan emphasized that even though the company is in its early stages, the response from industry has been validat- ing. “We’ve had a lot of people from companies who use additive as well as other additive companies look at us and really express fascination with what we’re doing.” “I feel like we’ve got something that’s really different,” he
said. ?
