Ag Tech Spotlight 👁️🐕
Vet students need hands-on experience before working with live animals. That's where the Animal Eye-Globes, by Tallgrass Solutions, make a difference.
These realistic 3D training models allow students to practice direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy while learning the anatomy of animal eyes across multiple species, including canine, feline, equine, and lagomorph. Designed from real animal imagery, they're an innovative tool for building confidence and clinical skills in veterinary education.
Innovation like this is helping prepare the next generation of veterinary professionals, and TDI is here to make your idea turn into reality.

Out with the old, in with the new. 🔧
When Fort Riley needed a replacement part, TDI engineers and interns got to work. The team first developed a 3D-printed prototype to verify the design before refining it and machining the second part from aluminum using the HAAS UMC-500 5-axis mill.
From rapid prototyping to precision manufacturing, this project showcases how TDI helps turn ideas into functional solutions.

Watch as one of our engineers completes the molding process for Buller Guard, an agriculture innovation project designed to help with early detection of bovine respiratory disease.
From design to prototype development, TDI helps bring new ideas to life through engineering and advanced manufacturing.
Clean welds and innovative solutions...what TDI does best!
Our team used laser welding with filler wire to join 12-gauge stainless steel for a custom rotary union test fixture build for a client. This process allows for strong, clean welds with minimal heat distortion, helping create a high-quality solution built for performance.

Take a closer look at our quarter scale combine, designed and built by TDI engineers as a display and prototype vehicle for an innovative crop cutting technology.
It even features a functional front header and an opening combine body that allows an operator to drive it. A great example of how our team brings ideas to life through engineering and advanced manufacturing.
Any material. Almost any size.
The OMAX 60120 Waterjet is one of TDI's most versatile manufacturing tools. It can cut nearly any material, including steel, aluminum, titanium, copper, stone, granite, marble, glass, and more.
With a 60" x 120" cutting envelope, it handles large parts with fewer setups and less repositioning, helping maximize material utilization and improve efficiency.
