Redefining the
Additive Factory

Building modular production systems designed to simplify how complex parts are printed.

Our Vision

The Factory in a Single Box.

We are replacing fragmented production lines with intelligent, modular manufacturing cells.

C3DT System

Consolidated Production

Traditional manufacturing requires disjointed chains of specialized machines, vendors, and logistics. We consolidate these steps into a single, software-defined system that utilizes modular toolheads to process parts efficiently.

Extreme Agility

Shorten development cycles by streamlining production workflows. Iterate on hardware as fast as software.

Digital Thread

Full process control and data logging for every part, ensuring compliance with aerospace and medical standards.

Methodology

Our Approach

C3DT does not approach manufacturing as a single machine problem. It treats manufacturing as a system architecture problem. Modern production has become fragmented different machines, vendors, workflows, and facilities stitched together through manual processes and logistics.

C3DT’s platform is designed to reverse that fragmentation by optimizing advanced additive manufacturing within a unified, modular cell. The goal is not to replace factories, but to rethink how factories are structured starting at the cell level.

Modular Toolheads

Expand capability over time without replacing the machine.

Software-Driven

Orchestration rather than fixed workflows.

Distributed Footprint

Small enough to enable manufacturing anywhere.

Process Control

Built-in traceability for industrial standards.

What We Build

System Architecture

C3DT develops modular manufacturing platforms that serve as building blocks for flexible production. The company’s current systems focus on high-performance additive manufacturing within a single enclosure.

These systems are designed to scale from small-batch production to larger distributed manufacturing deployments. Rather than forcing customers into fixed configurations, C3DT systems are designed to evolve adding tools and capabilities without replacing the underlying platform.

MAT_01
Performance Materials

Processing high-temp polymers like PEEK & ULTEM.

MAT_02
Composite Ready

Optimized for Carbon Fiber & Glass Fiber reinforced parts.

SYS_01
Large Format

Industrial build volume for full-scale production parts.

SYS_02
Precision Control

High-accuracy motion systems for dimensional fidelity.
