Metal 3D printing systems
velo3d.com (opens in a new tab)Velo3D builds metal additive manufacturing systems capable of printing geometries that conventional 3D printing cannot produce without support structures, which is what makes the technology viable for demanding aerospace and defence components. Its work in those sectors involves direct government contracts alongside prime contractors, where qualification requirements and funding cycles differ substantially from commercial manufacturing sales. The company's systems address parts where design complexity and material performance both matter, and where traditional machining either cannot deliver the geometry or cannot deliver it economically.
