3D Systems launched in 1986 and has led additive manufacturing innovation ever since
3D Systems offers a broad portfolio of hardware, software, and material solutions, ranging from plastic 3D printers capable of producing over one million parts annually to Direct Metal Printing technology extensively utilised for advanced medical, defence, and carbon capture applications, in addition to the large-format TITAN range that can print full-scale parts up to 1829mm using recycled plastics. Their service is supported by industry-specific engineering expertise and an in-house Applications Innovation Group that maintains direct strategic partnerships with companies such as Airbus, Daimler, Lucid, HAAS Nascar, as well as the Alpine and Sauber F1 teams. Locally, 3D Systems has collaborated on mission-critical applications with Fleet Space Technologies and produced 3D printed Titanium gearboxes for Rodin Cars.
3D Systems has an application-focused approach that provides materials to address the most challenging design and production issues. This includes tough, high-temperature, flexible, and biocompatible materials, as well as QuickCast Air casting, transparent plastics, and Nylon PA11, PA12, and PAx, which are widely used for manufacturing orthotics and prosthetics.
Direct Metal Printing allows for the creation of intricate and ultra-fine design geometries that cannot be achieved with traditional CNC methods, using bespoke materials such as titanium, copper, nickel alloys, cobalt-chrome, Scalelloy, and aluminium. This includes high-velocity components and corrosion-resistant biomedical metals.
3D Systems continues to innovate, and at Australian Manufacturing Week 2025, the company will showcase its Australian release of the best P-SLA light projection technology. This technology delivers superior performance and productivity by combining the speed and material advantages of light projection with the first-article success, accuracy, and surface finish of SLA.
The P-SLA 270 is a compact, mid-frame, affordable system capable of producing true production-grade parts using advanced resins that provide best-in-class smoothness and quality comparable to injection-moulded parts for automotive, aerospace, and service bureau applications. Materials with heat resistance up to 300 degrees and flexible plastics can be printed with minimal support structures, thereby reducing material usage and post-production finishing times.
3D Systems is designing these new production units to be easy to install and use, featuring simple interfaces and printing processes to maximise productivity. They are versatile and capable systems that achieve first-article success and deliver exceptional print quality.
