25 Top 3D Printing Companies You Should Know 2022

Think of 3D printing as erosion in reverse. Bodies of water wear substances down layer by near-imperceptible layer; 3D printers build substances up in a similar way. Like all technology, of course, 3D printing isn’t nearly as old as the tides.

The concept dates back to the early ‘80s, when Dr. Hideo Kodama almost patented it in Japan. Due to a bureaucratic issue, though, Kodama’s patent never went through. Consequently, credit for 3D printing typically goes to Charles Hull, an American engineer who founded 3D Systems, the original 3D printing company, back in 1986. It made the first machines that could translate digital designs into 3D cured-resin artifacts. 

Nowadays, 3D printing is a thriving industry. Modern printers range from desktop models to industrial giants to “bioprinters,” which can create human tissue. That’s not to mention the 3D-printing software, where objects get designed and optimized, and on-demand printing shops.  

Here are 25 companies that are thriving in the 3D printing space.

Formlabs makes various 3D printers, which range from desktop to industrial formats. The Form 3 and Form 3L, two of the smaller styles, rely on laser light and a flexible tank of resin to print quickly and precisely. Both can create features as narrow as one thousandth of an inch, which comes in handy for printing New Balance’s new midsoles. Made from a substance called Rebound Resin, these bouncy creations look less like traditional foam and more like sprays of Spiderman’s webbing.

 

Location: Watertown, Massachusetts

Many 3D printers use plastic filament, but not those made by Markforged. Its industrial printers can print hardier substances, including nylon, carbon fiber and even metal — hence the “forge” in Markforged. (Continuing the metal theme, it also makes AI manufacturing software called Blacksmith.) Integrated into factories worldwide, this company’s printers reportedly have helped transform supply chains by accelerating prototype and replacement part manufacturing.

Location: Gaithersburg, Maryland

Xometry began as a way to simplify prototyping. Its software eliminated the need for companies to slowly and laboriously gather quotes from manufacturers. Instead, they could access six different types of 3D printers on demand and at instantly-quoted rates. That model has attracted high-profile clients like car manufacturer BMW, which relies on Xometry for custom trim, logos and other unique and tooling-heavy touches that are printed from carbon fiber tubing.

 

Location: New York, New York 

Focused less on 3D printing hardware than software, nTopology’s NTop Platform can be integrated into 3D printing engineering workflows. A standout feature: It can autonomously tweak and streamline existing designs, removing clunkiness and excess weight so designers can focus on more important problems and avoid busywork — whether they’re printing medical devices or rocket nozzles.

 

Location: New York, New York 

Shapeways 3D prints designs on demand in a choice of more than 50 materials, including plastic, sandstone and platinum. Customers simply log in to the site, upload a design and place an order, which prints in one of the two Shapeways factories and arrives via mail. It’s online shopping, really, but instead of browsing the wares, shoppers design them. Shapeways also has a team of designers on hand to help users bring their visions to fruition.

Location: Seattle, Washington

This company’s namesake 3D printer, Glowforge, can print with almost any material. Kid-friendly and intended for home use, it creates custom designs from plastic, wood and even chocolate. Though it allows for creativity, that’s not required; the hardware comes pre-loaded with a catalog of cool designs for everything from monogrammed macarons to a wooden Settlers of Catan game board.

 

Location: Chicago, Illinois

Fast Radius has replaced old-school, centralized factories with a network of smaller “manufacturing lighthouses” — a move for which the company was named one of the globe’s leading factories by the World Economic Forum. At each of its fabrication plants, the company 3D-prints and injection-molds parts for industrial use and quickly ships them off. Its partnership with UPS, paired with the company’s distributed structure, means it can often offer next-day delivery, even on custom builds.

 

Location: Redwood City, California

This startup has a minimal web presence — it’s still in stealth mode — but it focuses on 3D printed buildings. Specifically, Mighty Building makes tiny-house-esque “backyard studios” with a massive printer that barely fits in a warehouse. The company offers three studio models so far, which max out at less than 600 square feet. That’s smaller than many studios, but the pint-sized standalone structures are surprisingly stylish and functional, outfitted with floor-to-ceiling windows and working bathrooms.

 

Location: Redwood City, California

Every 3D printing process involves fusing layers into a whole, but Carbon has reinvented the fusing process. Called Digital Light Synthesis, the technique smooths away the “seams” that 3D printing often produces. This creates a seamless finish, and a stronger product — traditionally 3D-printed objects’ strength can vary, depending on whether the nozzle moved clockwise or counterclockwise in production.

 

Location: Los Angeles, California

Divergent 3D aims to streamline and decentralize car manufacturing. That means moving production out of multi-million-dollar factories and into a networked cluster of 3D printing shops. In these smaller, warehouse-like spaces, the Divergent 3D team relies on end-to-end design software and industrial printers to create light, safe, fast cars. As of 2017, the company had prototyped two vehicle models: a motorcycle called the Dagger, and a sleek low-riding sports car called the Blade. (Cutting-edge, indeed!) 

 

Location: Los Angeles, California

SprintRay is a 3D printing company specializing in dental products. The company’s RayWare software is specifically designed with dental professionals in mind as it pairs CAD automation and allows for connection to SprintRay’s printers, making modeling dental products more streamlined. The software also allows users to save edited models and export to other CAD services. In addition, SprintRay offers a host of 3D dental printers as well as cloud solutions that reduce the need for hardware and allow for more mobile printing.

 

Location: Burlington, Massachusetts

Desktop Metal condensed a steel mill into a box smaller than a refrigerator that easily fits through an office door. No special ventilation is required, and there’s no open flame, laser light or loose powder involved. It just needs power and an internet connection to 3D-print with steel. More specifically, this company’s printer extrudes rods of a powdered steel alloy, wax and polymer binder. (The company is developing copper and nickel filaments, too.) The printer first cooks away the binding. It then welds steel layers together in its furnace. Though it’s a very contained process, it’s also transparent — users can watch it unfold via livestream.

Today it is difficult to imagine many spheres of life without the possibility of creating three-dimensional virtual images that allow one to imagine an object in its environment, its size and shape. Modeling for a 3d printer is just one of many situations where you need to build a realistic computer model. Options for designing a room, choosing a kitchen for a new apartment, planning a residential complex under construction, computer games, films, training videos - any of us is faced with three-dimensional models almost daily. nine0005

Computer 3d modeling is in demand in medicine, construction, various industries, entertainment and design. The ability to imagine how the final product will look like from all angles saves resources and allows you to reduce the time for its release - a significant part of the defects can be detected before the actual production.

Before you can print a product or model, you must create a digital 3D model in the editor. In other words, you need a print sketch. Our company has been successfully working in the field of 3D modeling and prototyping for a long time. All that is required of you is to provide a drawing of the future 3D model or the product itself, according to which we will model its three-dimensional version in the editor. nine0005

The bespoke digital 3D models that we create are designed not only for printing on printers, but also for creating architectural objects, and design items. Not a single car, not a single aircraft can do without preliminary 3D modeling, according to which the final object will be manufactured.

The specialists of our 3D Laboratory are mastering new principles of custom-made 3D modeling day by day, so that the work is more detailed every time. nine0005

Many business projects are implemented based on 3d graphic modeling - the speed of their launch has been significantly reduced, thanks to the chance to look into the future through the visualization of ideas.

If you need to restore the lost fragment of the whole, three-dimensional 3d modeling will also help. And molds for production by casting are made by building an image of a future part or product. Mouthguards for bite correction, which must change their configuration over time, individually made prostheses, implants - today their creation is also based on 3d model modeling. nine0005

To develop an electronic image, you can limit yourself to a polygonal version (an object is recreated based on points and lines combined into so-called polygons), or use computer-aided design systems so that you have an electronic geometric digital 3d model at your disposal. The latter allows you to take into account not only all the dimensions of the object, but also the properties of the material, manufacturing technology, sections and gaps. The choice of method depends on the end goal. nine0005

We have various programs to provide 3d modeling services: Fusion 360, Inventor, 3DS Max, SolidWorks.

This software is both for relatively simple visualization and for creating working models, on the basis of which it will be possible to change the characteristics, observing what will happen to the object; make calculations, as well as embody it in physical form using 3d printing.

If you plan to use 3d modeling (Moscow), take a closer look at us, our portfolio and team. We have been working on building virtual models for a long time and are constantly improving our skills - your task will be completed in the shortest possible time and with the highest accuracy. nine0005

To carry out 3D modeling (Moscow), we need a sketch or drawing of the object being designed. In the event that we are talking about something that really exists, a photograph or 3D scan data will be enough for us. It is also among our standard services - with its help we transfer physical objects, including engineering structures and structures, into a digital format.

The final cost of your order will be affected by what you provide to fulfill it and your end goal. nine0005

If you need information on how to perform 3d modeling, its price, implementation time, you can write to us and send the available documentation to [email protected], our consultants will contact you.

If your plans include both 3d modeling and printing, we have a large fleet of modern printers working with different materials and technologies. For each task, you can choose the necessary option.

We remind you that you can also rent our equipment in order to print your own ideas. In this case, we can perform modeling for a 3d printer and send you files with ready-to-print materials.
