Target Customers
Industrial manufacturers, design firms, engineering companies, businesses in Middle East requiring affordable professional 3D printing
Developed JetSmart® and EasySupport® technologies for dual-nozzle printing and optimized supports; Released Epitum JL printer series with 360x360x610 mm build volume, active chamber heating, auto-leveling, and material profiles; Focused on full 3D printing ecosystem for uninterrupted production; Recognized as Best Industrial 3D Printing Solutions Provider 2026 at MEA Markets UAE Business Awards
Epitum addresses a gap in the Middle Eastern additive manufacturing market: affordable industrial-grade FFF/FDM printers that do not compromise on professional features. Founded in 2019 and based in Abu Dhabi, the company targets businesses that need reliable polymer extrusion but face high costs from established Western and Asian vendors. Its value proposition centers on delivering temperature-controlled chambers, auto-leveling, and dual-material capability at a price point suited to regional small and medium manufacturers.
The core differentiator is the proprietary Jet Switch dual-material technology, which uses a dual-nozzle single-extruder design to switch between materials without wipe towers, reducing waste and downtime. Epitum's printers, including the Epitum S, Epitum L, and the newer JL series with a 360x360x610 mm build volume, support soluble supports via the EasySupport system. The company also offers JetSmart and EasySupport software to streamline support generation and material management.
Epitum serves industrial manufacturers, design firms, and engineering companies in the Middle East. Named customers include Emirates Airlines, ADNOC, and Masdar City, indicating adoption in aerospace, energy, and urban development sectors. The company has also partnered with Stratasys, Khalifa University, Hub71, Autodesk, and Siemens Energy, suggesting a strategy of embedding within regional innovation ecosystems. It raised $12.7 million from investors including Hub71, SVC, Mubadala Investment Company, and Techstars Dubai.
Epitum's competitive position relies on its regional focus and proprietary dual-material technology, but it faces established rivals like Stratasys, Ultimaker, and Prusa, which have broader global distribution and material ecosystems. The company's small team of seven employees and reliance on Middle Eastern demand create both agility and concentration risk. Its recognition as Best Industrial 3D Printing Solutions Provider 2026 at the MEA Markets UAE Business Awards signals growing regional credibility, but scaling beyond the Gulf will require broader material partnerships and channel development.
