Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, 3DPX has become an industry-leading provider of additive manufacturing (AM) solutions, specializing in polymer selective laser sintering (SLS) technology and advanced engineering. From rapid prototyping to regulated medical device production, the company has built its reputation on technical expertise, disciplined quality systems, and a commitment to delivering reliable, production-ready components.

3DPX operates a robust AM environment anchored by EOS technology, including the FORMIGA P 110 Velocis and EOS P 396 systems. These platforms allow the team to produce highly accurate, durable components using PA 2200 (Nylon 12) and other biocompatible thermoplastics.

Speed and scalability are central strengths of 3DPX’s manufacturing model. Customers can receive functional prototypes in as little as one day, while full production runs - ranging from hundreds to thousands of parts - can be completed within days. This agility, combined with the durability and precision inherent to SLS printing, allows 3DPX to serve a wide range of applications including jigs and fixtures, consumer and industrial components, electronic housings, architectural models, and medical devices. Their in-house finishing, inspection, and CNC machining capabilities further extend their value, offering customers hybrid workflows with enhanced precision and superior surface quality.
