Problem
Traditional methods of ordering 3D-printed parts often involve lengthy lead times and complex manufacturing processes, hindering efficient prototyping and scalable production. Obtaining instant quotations and managing flexible production capabilities can be challenging, especially when transitioning from single prototypes to mass production.
Solution
Matterize offers an AI-powered platform designed to streamline the customization and ordering of 3D-printed parts in both polymers and metals. The platform provides instant quotations and lead times by analyzing part geometry with proprietary algorithms. Users can iterate through prototypes with a drag-and-drop workflow and scale production from one to thousands of pieces with a single click. Matterize's in-house facilities are optimized for speed, strength, and finish, offering various surface finishes and a 3-step inspection process to ensure consistent quality. A dedicated consultation team assists users with design for additive manufacturing (DFAM), prototyping, and production, ensuring a seamless experience from design to delivery.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes engineers, designers, and startups seeking to accelerate hardware development and streamline the 3D printing process for both prototyping and production.
