About Velo3D:
Velo3D is a metal 3D printing technology company. 3D
printing—also known as additive manufacturing (AM)—has a unique
ability to improve the way high-value metal parts are built.
However, legacy metal AM has been greatly limited in its
capabilities since its invention almost 30 years ago. This has
prevented the technology from being used to create the most
valuable and impactful parts, restricting its use to specific
niches where the limitations were acceptable.
Velo3D has overcome these limitations so engineers can design
and print the parts they want. The company’s solution unlocks a
wide breadth of design freedom and enables customers in space
exploration, aviation, power generation, energy, and semiconductor
to innovate the future in their respective industries. Using
Velo3D, these customers can now build mission-critical metal parts
that were previously impossible to manufacture. The fully
integrated solution includes the Flow print preparation software,
the Sapphire family of printers, and the Assure quality control
system—all of which are powered by Velo3D’s Intelligent Fusion
manufacturing process. The company delivered its first Sapphire
system in 2018 and has been a strategic partner to innovators such
as SpaceX, Honeywell, Honda, Chromalloy, and Lam Research. Velo3D
has been named as one of Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies
for 2023. For more information, please visit Velo3D.com, or follow
