Leading 3D Printer Brands
Since its founding in 2002, EnvisionTEC has pioneered multiple technologies to deliver industrial grade 3D printers for a broad spectrum of markets. While EnvisionTEC is best known for its leading positions in the orthodontic, jewelry, and hearing aid markets, their offering is directly applicable to aerospace, automotive, biofabrication, and consumer markets, to name a few. With six distinct 3D printing technologies, they are perhaps most noted for their methods that use UV photo cured resins. With proprietary technologies that include gray scaling and pixel shifting, EnvisionTEC delivers the best surface finish and part accuracy in the industry.
Differentiators:
- Superior Surface Finish
- High Accuracy
- Multiple Materials

MakerBot was founded in 2009 and has sold 100,000+ 3D printers, more than any other manufacturer in the world. Their current offering includes four models, and they are the market leaders in the education segment. The Mini+, Replicator+ and Z18 print PLA and Tough PLA, a material with physical properties that resemble ABS but print with ease just like PLA. With the Smart Extruder+, MakerBot has taken 3D printing to a new level of reliability while also providing automatic detection of the end of the filament and the capability to replace spools during a build and then resume. The fourth model, the Replicator 2x, has two extruders and can print PLA and ABS. With the second extruder, one can print in a part with a second color or print dissolvable supports.
Differentiators:
- Simple User Interface
- Optimized for PLA,
- Method family printers enable engineering performance materials
- Thingiverse – one of the largest repositories of 3D printable models

Fusion3 was founded in 2013 with a strong commitment to design and manufacture affordable, reliable, highly capable industrial 3D printers. The Fusion3 Edge has a large build platform and is well-suited for both commercial and education market segments. This unit comes with a 0.4 mm dia. nozzle with 0.6 and 0.8 mm nozzles available optionally. This flexibility meets a broad spectrum of needs from fine detail to increased capacity for faster printing with a slight reduction in surface quality. Fusion3’s commitment to quality and reliability is backed by an industry-leading 2-year warranty. By design, Fusion3 does not make or sell filament for their 3D printers but instead they believe that owners should have the flexibility to choose the right material for their own needs.

State-of-the-Art 3D Printing Services
Very Competitive Pricing. 1st Class Customer Service.
We build high surface quality, strong parts that make your design a reality within hours. Medical devices, anatomical models, mold inserts, tooling fixtures, master patterns, and architectural models are just a few of the types of parts we fabricate. We work with you to determine the best 3D printing technology for your application, while balancing strength, accuracy, finish, and cost. In some cases, our clients first look for a low-cost, first iteration for a simple proof-of-concept or a fit check. We can also employ technologies which provide greater strength and/or higher accuracy and/or better surface finish, all in accordance with our clients’ needs (after a first iteration or from the outset). Need to embed a threaded fastener or an electronic board inside your part? We do that. Looking for the strength of composites? We can embed continuous carbon fiber to achieve strength-to-weight ratios that exceed 6061 aluminum. Want to embed Kevlar or fiberglass instead? No problem.
