The 3D Platform Approach

Our approach to additive manufacturing is defined by the dynamic needs of the marketplace and our solution- based relationship with customers. The entire team is committed to a partnership that aims to maximize customer benefits through the implementation and support of 3D printing technology. In fact, one of the most rewarding parts of our job is hearing from enthusiastic customers whose experience with our machines and expertise has led to a successful and rapid product launch.

“We are driven to help our customers succeed. We have continued to push our machines to have the best ROI of any large format 3D printer on the market.”— Jonathon Shroeder, 3D Platform President

Our approach to 3D printing focuses on the four clear industry demands below. This simple but effective approach is why leading fortune 100 brands trust us.

1. Scalability & Increased Throughput

Smart manufacturers are no longer satisfied with legacy product development cycles and small-scale models. Today they are rapidly moving to full-scale prototypes and production using additive manufacturing practices. This shift requires SPEED and throughput expansion. 3D Platform machines give manufacturers this speed NOW with High-Flow Extruders and blazing fast (and QUIET) motors. And, we’re continually optimizing these throughput components.

2. Open Market Enabled Solutions

Push Your Additive Manufacturing To New Heights With 16 Times The Speed Of Competitors Extruders Use a small diameter nozzle for fine layer resolutions. Go bigger with a large extruder and a large diameter nozzle for fast printing and ultra-strong parts.

3. Affordability of Equipment & Materials

SMB’s and Fortune 100 companies alike need to stretch their R&D and production investments like never before, while increasing speed to market. 3DP WorkSeries enables you to get new product development in gear and to the market faster. Our varying price range, open market software compatibility, and extruder throughput configurations help you to tailor your 3D printer to your specific additive manufacturing needs.

4. Robust Industrial Technology

3D Platform was born from the hard requirements of machinists and engineers located at one of the world’s leading linear motion mechatronics manufacturers. Thus, components, motors, and control systems stand up to the harsh environment of the shop floor, and the excessive demands of rapid manufacturing. We serve customers with a need for commercial additive manufacturing and we’re expanding on that success. Let us show you how.

Protect Your Investment

An Upgrade Path That Makes Sense. Affordability is a cornerstone of 3DP strategy. We aim to treat your machine as an investment that should appreciate in value, or at least ROI. Our Upgrade Path is practical and shows how a flexible machine can be adapted to future requirements. Developments available to our customers include:
Extruders and nozzles upgraded to realize higher print speeds
SurePrint Servo upgrades bring rapid travel speed, increased ACCID EC, accuracy and repeatability.
Filament feeders upgraded along with other accessories
Trade Up program that recognizes the value in your machine and compensates for it as well.
Keep your 3D printing machine at the top of its game!
