3D Systems

Description

3D Systems launched the 3D printing industry in 1986 and has been leading additive manufacturing innovation ever since. Our broad portfolio of hardware, software, and material solutions spans from plastics to metals, and is backed by industry-specific engineering expertise housed in our Applications Innovation Group. We take a consultative, application-focused approach to solving your most difficult design and production challenges. The combination of our solutions, expertise, and innovation helps our users defy conventional manufacturing limitations and maximize the value of additive manufacturing. 

Headquartered in Rock Hill, South Carolina, with offices, manufacturing facilities, and Customer Innovation Centers around the globe, 3D Systems has the expertise and resources to advance industries. 

Adoption of metal additive manufacturing in aerospace and defense is only possible when processes meet the same requirements that conventional manufacturing does today.

Our global AIG reduces risk and creates a faster ROI for our customers by developing qualified, transferrable, and scalable production processes. This is a key differentiator when developing new production additive manufacturing (AM) applications. 

Function-Led Design: With AM, application requirements lead, and the manufacturing process is built to follow. This broader design space can enable better optimized fluid flow and heat transfer. AM can also provide stronger and lighter structures, assembly consolidation, and even utilize new and novel materials among other benefits. 

Speed to Market and Supply Chain Integration: AM enables drastic reductions in lead time from the first prototype, to test samples, and full production in a more flexible, localized, and compressed supply chain. 

Additive Manufacturing Expertise and Capability: Establish AM capabilities within your organization and suppliers by partnering with our Application Innovation Group to rapidly progress from concept to successful production. 

Repeatable and Reliable Production: Our production-grade additive solutions ensure consistent, high material quality and part accuracy along with tight control of mechanical properties from build to build and across machines and locations.

Scalability and Risk Reduction: Our AS/EN9100 and ITAR registered pilot manufacturing facilities offer increased capacity, flexibility, and risk reduction to move development programs efficiently forward. Pilot production is followed by technology transfer and qualification of your internal facilities or suppliers with replicated and scaled manufacturing processes.
