Vulcan II 3D Printer
When ICON first approached us with their idea of a 3D printer that could build homes they were a company of three with an unprecedented goal. Not to turn down a challenge, we designed and built the Vulcan I printer and helped them print the first permitted 3D printed home in the country in early 2018. Roughly […]
Vulcan 3D Printer
The ICON Vulcan 3D printer is designed to print small concrete homes economically, efficiently, and quickly. Early in development ICON approached Pump Studios for a reliable solution that would be lightweight, easy to set up and disassemble, as well as provide a cost effective platform for refinement and upgrades. Pump supported ICON through all the key phases […]

Badger Wheels
Badger Wheels provide mobility for large, rugged Yeti Coolers. Cooler Extras came to Pump with a preliminary design and a wish list of enhancements and features. Ultimately Pump created an adjustable, marine-grade stainless steel system that fits a broad range of cooler sizes. Pump also developed rugged molded wheels, designed for a variety of surfaces and conditions, […]
Badger Handle
Building on the success of their original Badger wheel system, Cooler Extras returned to Pump wanting a handle solution that would allow users to maneuver, and level a cooler when only using a single axle. Pump went through several design iterations, ultimately arriving at a simple, lightweight design from welded aluminum. The Badger handle is as rugged as the […]
Badger Light
The maker of the successful Badger Wheel system, Cooler Extras, was looking for a simple, battery operated light for use inside coolers. The Badger Light is like a refrigerator light for your cooler. Cooler Extras tested a number of existing solutions and was disappointed by the poor battery life, lack of water resistance, and overall poor quality of […]
