Consultative partner providing end-to-end 2D and 3D printing solutions with over 75 years of experience, certified technical support, and a focus on helping clients identify and implement the right additive and wide-format technologies for their specific workflows.
How They Differentiate
Unlike generalist resellers, M5D has structured its entire operation around HP 3D printing as a core specialty, combined with 75+ years of wide-format expertise. The company offers a consultative "5-dimension approach" assessing profitability, alignment, agility, results, and evolution — not just selling printers. They also provide managed service plans (MasterPlan), training, and a Product Innovation Subscription for HP MJF access without full capital investment.
