Los Angeles 3D Printing - Industries and Applications
3D printing, a form of additive manufacturing, is a tremendous manufacturing asset to businesses and organizations in Los Angeles, California. If you're looking to better understand how 3D printing could add value to your project or industry, Xometry can assist you with your goals.
According to Thomasnet.com®'s 2022 sourcing data, the top six most popular manufacturing industries in Los Angeles are Software & Technology, General Manufacturing, Aerospace & Defense, Food & Beverage, Electronics, and Automotive. Here's how 3D printing can support local manufacturing in Los Angeles in some of these popular sectors:
- General manufacturing: Considered a necessary utility tool that the majority of manufacturing companies are employing, 3D printing is a low-cost and invaluable manufacturing solution used in many avenues, from parts of the production line and making jigs and fixtures to creating custom tooling for laser marking.
It also allows for rapid prototyping to test design concepts ahead of production runs, thus reducing risk and eliminating costly design flaws. Top automotive companies are eager to leverage this technology, i.e., BMW, which uses Xometry for custom assembly of purpose-designed soft-touch handheld jigs. One case study showed that these improved-quality, lighter-weight, 3D printed products not only reduce fatigue but they also reduce scrap rate, too. Additive manufacturing is also starting to become a substitute process for injection molding, particularly for low-volume projects that require complex tooling from plastic or metal. As 3D printing creates parts directly from the CAD model one layer at a time, it offers cost advantages by eliminating the upfront expenses of creating tooling or molds, such as with die casting, injection molding, or CNC machining. - Aerospace and defense: 3D printing is already being utilized in aerospace and, though not yet heavily adopted in defense, has the potential to provide enormous value in the sector.
3D printing applications in aerospace mainly revolve around reducing foreign object debris (FOD) by consolidating part count, while also reducing the weight of components thereby significantly reducing costs. Freeform aerospace designs via additive can also benefit through topology optimization, a method utilizing mathematical tools to augment the distribution of the designs’ material. For defense, 3D printing can simplify the life cycle support of any product, specifically for low-volume repairs or replacements of highly custom legacy products that are no longer manufactured. In addition to using this technology for the creation of advanced weapon systems like drones and weaponry, additive manufacturing can reduce the downtime from repairs through rapid response, with the potential for real-time 3D printing base replacement units for the military. Though there is still a lot of discovery yet to take place in relation to legacy parts, it is an interesting avenue with a lot of potential for the defense sector.
- Food and beverage: On the manufacturing side of food and beverage, 3D printing is gaining traction as a valuable utility, with the potential to become so much more. Though general mass-market kitchenware isn’t 3D printed, the prototypes for these products very likely are, as well as other essential items in the sector such as food packaging, utensils, or spare parts for food production lines. 3D printed foods have long been the topic of fervent interest, with advancements such as the first commercial 3D chocolate printer that is set to change the game for bakeries and chocolatiers everywhere. But there are a few limitations, the main one being cleanability as a 3D printed surface with micropores is not smooth enough to be considered food-grade. The addition of chemical vapor smoothing for the post-processing of 3D printed products has, however, made it possible to get closer to food processing with 3D printing than ever before.
- Electronics: Additive manufacturing in this sector largely focuses on the 3D printing of plastics to produce custom enclosures with bespoke individual functions.
IoT devices and wire routings that would be difficult and cumbersome to traditionally manufacture with standard tooling can be directly printed with metal or even substituted with a high-performance polymer in a short amount of time. Manufacturers of customized electronics and other products, from wearables to bridge- and high-fidelity tooling, are also turning to this technology. - Automotive: Additive manufacturing has been used in the automotive industry for decades with manufacturers choosing to 3D print automotive prototypes for early-stage research and testing. Today, major automakers — Ford, BMW, GM, and many more — have adopted 3D printing within their manufacturing operations for the rapid creation of purpose-built components such as handheld jigs, grips, custom fixtures, thermoforming tools, and molds. In some cases, additive manufacturing has been used within automotive for installed components, especially when mass configuration or personalization is desired, as this allows companies to keep costs low and avoid future losses by printing only samples and low volumes.
The additive manufacturing and material market is rampantly growing and is estimated to reach US$61.1 Billion by the year 2027. With the technology being so prolific, providing endless options, and the opportunity to greatly add to and advance your business, let Xometry cater to all your industrial-grade 3D printing needs.
Xometry's High Quality 3D Printing Services
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a powerful 3D printing technology that produces highly accurate and durable parts that are capable of being used directly in end-use, low-volume production, or for rapid prototyping.
An additive manufacturing layer technology, SLS involves the use of a high power laser (for example, a carbon dioxide laser) to fuse small particles of plastic powders into a mass that has a desired three-dimensional shape. The laser selectively fuses powdered material by scanning cross-sections generated from a 3-D digital description of the part (for example from a CAD file or scan data) on the surface of a powder bed.
After each cross-section is scanned, the powder bed is lowered by one layer thickness, a new layer of material is applied on top, and the process is repeated until the part is completed.

Stereolithography (SLA)
Stereolithography (SLA) is a robust 3D printing technology that produces extremely accurate and high-resolution parts that are capable of being used directly in end-use, low-volume production, or for rapid prototyping.
SLA is an additive manufacturing process that focuses an ultraviolet (UV) light on a vat of photopolymer resin. It offers higher resolution printing than many other 3D printing technologies, allowing customers to print parts with fine details and surface finishes. SLA 3D printing is a highly-versatile platform for making custom parts in prototype and production settings; often acting as a stand-in for injection-molded plastic parts.
Xometry offers both standard and high-resolution options for fine detail parts, and can also print larger sized parts and products, with some materials offering up to a 58" inch build area.
In addition, Xometry's manufacturing partner network allows us to offer a larger variety of materials than other 3D printing companies - we offer a wide range of both Accura and Somos brand materials.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a 3D printing technology widely known for its speed, accuracy, and competitive cost. A machine precisely extrudes melted plastic filament to create a part. Parts are very rigid, especially compared to Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), which makes them a great fit for projects with a rigidity requirement. Xometry's FDM solution offers large build volumes up to 24″ x 36″ x 36″, a variety of colors, and a diverse selection of production-grade thermoplastics — from ABS to Polycarbonate to Ultem.
Download the FDM Design Guide.
HP Multi Jet Fusion (HP MJF)
HP Multi Jet Fusion is a new 3D printing technology that produces highly accurate and durable parts that are capable of being used directly in end-use, low-volume production, or for rapid prototyping.
Since the process uses well-established 2D printing ink-jetting, it has remarkably fast layer times compared to other powder bed fusion technologies.
Download the HP Multi Jet Fusion Design Guide.
PolyJet 3D (PJ3D)
PolyJet 3D is a 3D printing technology known for its customizable material properties and excellent surface finish. It works by jetting UV curable resin onto a build tray in a process that is somewhat similar to inkjet printing. PolyJet 3D printing offers one of the most advanced industrial 3D printing solutions available, producing parts with incredible precision and speed. It also supports a wide variety of build materials including rigid and rubber-like plastics. Xometry's PolyJet solution has a maximum build envelope of 19.3 × 15.4 × 7.9 in. (490 × 390 × 200 mm) in a variety of colors and materials.

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)
Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is an 3D metal printing technology that builds prototype and production metal parts from a CAD file using a laser to selectively fuse a fine metal powder in either stainless steel or aluminum materials.
A DMLS machine is capable of producing highly complex features and all-in-one assemblies using metal materials that would be difficult to achieve with subtractive manufacturing techniques.
Our DMLS metal 3D printing service typically offers build volumes up to 250 x 250 x 325 mm, but we may be able to accommodate larger part volumes upon request in the quote. (See our Manufacturing Standards for more details) A good first step is to find out the cost of the parts you need using DMLS and compare them to other 3D printing processes and CNC machining.
Download the DMLS Design Guide.
Carbon DLS™
Carbon DLS™ uses digital light projection, oxygen-permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to produce products with end-use durability, resolution and surface finish. This 3D printing technology is called Digital Light Synthesis™, or DLS for short. Another legacy term for the process is Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP). Along with Carbon’s custom liquid resins, DLS unlocks new business opportunities and product designs previously impossible, including mass customization and on-demand inventory of end-use products.
Carbon bridges, and sometimes substitutes, for processes like Urethane Casting and Injection Molding service production, because the materials are urethane-based or epoxy-based, giving excellent mechanical properties. There are even elastomer and silicone resins that outperform most additive manufactured rubber-like materials.
The typical build area is 7.4” x 4.6” x 12.8”. Parts with dimensions exceeding 4” x 4” x 6” will require manual review.
Download the Carbon DLS Design Guide.
Metal Binder Jetting
With binder jetting, an inkjet print head quickly deposits a bonding agent onto a thin layer of powdered particles -- either metal, sand, ceramics or composites. This process is repeated, layer-by-layer, using a map from a digital design file, until the object is complete. Binder jetting is offered through our Digital RFQ Marketplace through Xometry's partnership with ExOne.

3D Printing for Vintage Car Restoration and Repair
Jay Leno is an American Emmy award-winning comedian, television host, and owner of one of the finest, if not the finest, car collections in the world.
Based in Burbank, California, the Big Dog Garage collection includes over 200 cars and 100 motorcycles. The area of the premises allotted for finished cars is 1600 square meters. But that's not all, because in the garage there are several buildings reserved for maintenance, repair and restoration, where several mechanics are constantly working.
Jay Leno is considered one of the most respected auto journalists in the United States. Not only does he have one of the largest car collections in America, but he also restores and restores rare models. It is important that all cars and motorcycles in the garage are full-fledged, efficient specimens, ready to hit the road at any time.
Even with all the attention the team puts into keeping the cars running, some parts will inevitably break. Finding replacement parts for classic and hand-built cars, some over 100 years old, is next to impossible, and making new ones using traditional methods can become very costly and time consuming.
Jay Leno and his team do not solely rely on traditional methods, but instead use advanced technology to solve this problem. By incorporating 3D scanning, reverse engineering and 3D printing into their workflow, they create both end-use parts and tooling for automotive injection molding. Not only does the technology provide huge benefits for vintage vehicles, but it is also invaluable for unique and custom vehicles that do not have mass-produced parts.
For over 10 years Jay Leno's team has worked closely with major 3D printer manufacturers Stratsys and 3D Systems. Big Dog Garage engineers use the company's Stratsys DimensionSST 1200 and Fortus250 3D printers. They also use Stratsys Direct Manufacturing and 3D Systems On Demand 3D printing services. In his show "Jay Leno's Garage", Jay shared his experience of using 3D printing technologies to restore cars.
November 2019 Big Dog Garage Joins Stratasys Performance Partner Program
As part of the partnership, Stratasys will provide Jay Leno's auto repair companies with access to its 3D printers to produce custom parts.
