Convexity provides on‑demand, on‑site production of printed circuit boards using an industrial 3D‑printing system that additively deposits copper, substrate, and dielectric layers in a single process. By deploying distributed printer clusters and a cloud‑based orchestration platform, it eliminates traditional drilling, etching, and long supply‑chain lead times, giving hardware developers rapid, low‑volume PCB manufacturing with greater design flexibility and supply‑chain resilience.

Problem
Traditional PCB manufacturing relies on centralized fabs, lengthy lead times, tooling requirements, and overseas logistics, which create supply‑chain bottlenecks and limit design flexibility for hardware engineers.
Solution
Convexity replaces conventional PCB fabs with an industrial 3D‑printing system that additively builds fully functional circuit boards, depositing copper, substrate, and dielectric materials in a single process. By deploying clusters of these printers on‑site or near customers, the company delivers production‑grade boards on demand without the need for drilling, etching, or milling. The additive approach supports a wide range of fluid materials, enabling custom mechanical, thermal, or aesthetic properties while maintaining trace conductivity comparable to traditional copper traces. A cloud‑based manufacturing platform coordinates printer clusters, providing rapid order fulfillment and reducing reliance on distant supply chains. This model offers faster time‑to‑market, greater design freedom, and increased resilience against logistics disruptions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are hardware developers, electronics manufacturers, and engineering teams that require rapid, low‑volume PCB production with flexible material options and reduced supply‑chain risk.
