Technology & Products
Key Products
3D Printing Services (FDM, DLP, MJP); 3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering; DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing); Hardware VAR (Nexa3D, Desktop Metal, Fusion3)
Technological Advantage
Value-Added Reseller (VAR) status for top-tier OEMs (Nexa3D, Desktop Metal) allows them to offer both service-based production and equipment sales/support, creating a dual revenue stream and deep technical expertise.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Accelerates product development cycles by providing a 'napkin to 3D' service model, combining high-resolution scanning with industrial-grade polymer printing to reduce prototyping lead times.
How They Differentiate
Focuses on high-touch local consultation and 'Discovery Center' education, offering a more personalized DfAM and reverse engineering service compared to the automated, hands-off platforms of Protolabs or Xometry.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Industrial manufacturers, aerospace and defense firms, and medical device developers requiring rapid prototyping and low-volume production.
Industry Verticals
Aerospace; Defense; Automotive; Medical; Consumer Goods; Arts & Academia
Competitors
Protolabs; Xometry; Fictiv; 3D Systems On Demand
Growth & Milestones
Growth Metrics
Expanded from a community-focused 'Discovery Center' to an industrial Value Added Reseller (VAR) for 8+ hardware brands including Nexa3D, ETEC, and 3D Systems; holds 2 US patents for 3D printing systems
Major Milestones
