Why this company matters

JLC3DP operates an integrated digital manufacturing platform based in Shenzhen, China, that combines 3D printing, CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and electronics manufacturing (PCB/SMT) into a single ordering system. This merged-service approach allows customers to consolidate orders across different processes, reducing shipping costs and streamlining procurement compared to using separate suppliers for each service.

The company's core offering is an online platform with instant quoting, real-time order tracking, and an API for trading companies. It supports a wide range of additive technologies including metal PBF-LB, polymer MJF, SLS, SLA, and material jetting, alongside traditional subtractive methods. JLC3DP claims prototyping costs as low as $0.30 per part for resin prints, with 24-hour production turnaround and 5-day global delivery, enabled by a 140,000 m² facility housing over 1,000 industrial printers.

Target customers include engineers, hardware startups, SMEs, and enterprises in automotive, aerospace, electronics, medical, and consumer goods sectors. As of June 2023, the platform had served over 470,000 users globally. The company operates five digital production bases in China and employs approximately 5,490 people as of December 2022.

JLC3DP differentiates from competitors like Protolabs, Xometry, and Hubs primarily through lower cost-per-part and faster delivery, leveraging China-based manufacturing scale. Its integration with PCB and electronics services creates a broader ecosystem than pure-play 3D printing rivals. The company has raised $129.2 million from investors including Sequoia Capital and is pursuing an IPO on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. A key partnership with INTAMSYS supports large-format 3D printing equipment.
