Access 3D Printing Manufacturing Solutions Today

Unmanned Systems (UxS)

Unmanned Systems (UxS) are platforms used in sectors such as Agriculture, Logisitcs, Delivery, Defense, and Real Estate. Applications range from search & rescue to hydrography to aquaculture research. 3D printing offers rapid design iteration process for prototyping but also infinite moduality for production in an ever changing solution set. Access engineering resources to tailor UxS solutions with the right polymer or metal material.

Eyewear

The adoption of 3D printed eyewear has increased over the last several years. Now the manufacturing solutions for 3D printed eyewear at scale is also available. Available with sustainable materials, design flexibility, premium quality, customization, and personalization. Create a digital inventory to enhance a product line and access seasonal trends without overproduction. Engineered manufacturing solutions ensure 1 pair or 10,000+ pairs all meet the same specifications.

Footwear

Manufacturing footwear using 3D printing allows for improved products, reduction in waste, digital inventory, and mass customization. Using industrial 3D printing solutions footwear production can be realized at scale. Access manufacturing and engineering resources specifically created and refined to ensure successful and optimal 3D printing of footwear for 1 pair or 100,000+ pairs.

Automotive Production

Automotive production parts are capable today with 3D printing. Qualified manufacturing solutions and materials are available for spare parts, aftermarket parts, and OEM parts. Low-volume and high-volume solutions qualified through the automotive PPAP specifically for 3D printing to ensure the consistency to meet the high demands of vehicles. From interior parts to exterior parts to cosmetic parts - 3D printing manufacturing solutions are here.
