LOCAL MICROFACTORIES

“Making parts when they are needed, where they are needed”

 

The larger a part is, the higher the cost for shipping becomes.  By building a decentralized network of regional microfactories across the USA, we can print parts closer to our customers and reduce both shipping times and costs.

​

Local manufacturing also leads to more robust supply chains.  The events of the last couple of years have shown us all how fragile our current manufacturing & supply chains can be and how those problems can effect all sectors.   By using a local production model we will be able to help ensure our customers can get the parts & components they need, regardless of what might be happening on the other side of the planet.

​

On top of all this, local manufacturing using 3D printing has the added bonus of dramatically reducing CO2 emissions.  Case studies have shown as much as a 17x decrease in CO2 emissions by locally 3D printing a part, compared to traditional manufacturing & supply chains.
