College student starts business
Jackson Hole native Peter Frank is on his way to becoming a serial entrepreneur and heâs still in college.
He and University of Denver classmate Nate Vance have launched a business to produce artisan tableware and other products through a combination of 3D printing and traditional processes and then use their profits for social benefit.
Called Buonaforma, the business got off the ground with a series of limited-edition ceramic vases available at BuonaForma.com.
Another company that Frank started offered 3D prototyping and also used 3D printing to create plastic figurines in original designs and also commissioned pieces. People liked the designs, Frank said, but werenât enthusiastic about plastic and wanted to know if he could work with higher-end materials.
