Additive Manufacturing (AM) – Without Compromise
Velo3D fulfills the original promise of AM by providing a complete end-to-end metal 3D printing solution for mission-critical parts

Since its inception, AM promised to unlock design freedom for engineers. When AM reached the mission-critical metal parts market, it was quickly accompanied by a concept called “Design for Additive Manufacturing” or DfAM. However, a more accurate term would be “Design Restricted by Additive Manufacturing.”
DfAM limits engineers to the capabilities of conventional AM, only allowing for certain geometries, or adding supports to parts that must later be removed. These restrictions make conventional AM a poor solution to many of the world’s most complex engineering challenges.
Velo3D fulfills the original promise of AM by providing a complete end-to-end metal 3D printing solution for mission-critical parts used for space exploration, to enhance transportation efficiency, and to produce cleaner energy. Velo3D helps innovators build the complex parts they need without compromising design or quality.
Advantages include:
Rapid Production
Responsiveness to demand allows the rapid production of new radical and complex designs, without having to iterate on manufacturability. Our solution has the intelligence required to adapt manufacturing processes to the challenges posed by specific parts.
Repeatability
Velo3D’s revolutionary single print file approach enables a part to be printed on any Velo3D printer anywhere in the world. Existing designs can be delivered with the push of a button without requiring redesign.
Speed to Market
SupportFreeTM capabilities reduce the requirements for post-processing significantly, allowing shorter lead time for part production and faster time-to-market. Removing constraints on what can be produced also reduces the downtime associated with re-engineering, resulting in faster product development, and differentiated products that deliver higher performance at a lower cost than conventional AM.
Quality Assurance
The efficiency delivered by our end-to-end solution allows for an optimization of the entire manufacturing process to reduce costs and maximize outputs.
