Creallo is an AI-powered online custom manufacturing company that enables individuals and businesses to move from design to production quickly and reliably — from a single prototype to full-scale manufacturing. To date, the company has produced almost 400,000 parts, delivered 12,000 orders, achieved an impressive 80%+ repeat purchase rate, and maintains an outstanding customer rating of 4.9/5.0 — underscoring its reputation for quality, consistency, and customer satisfaction.

Headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, Creallo offers one-stop manufacturing services, leveraging technologies such as additive manufacturing, CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, vacuum casting, and injection molding. Its proprietary AI platform automatically analyzes design files for manufacturability, generates instant quotes and lead times, and allows customers to complete the entire ordering process — from quote to checkout — within minutes, fully online and contact-free.

To keep pace with rapidly growing order volumes and customers’ demand for secure, domestic manufacturing, Creallo has significantly expanded its in-house capacity. Today, the company operates 10 Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers and 1 Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3D printer EOS P3 NEXT system, more than tripling its local production capabilities. Creallo also manages a global production network for urgent jobs and specialized processes, overseeing supplier partnerships, quality control, and logistics to deliver consistent results worldwide.

With customers in robotics, drones, medical devices, automotive and consumer goods, Creallo is a trusted partner from early-stage prototyping through to series production.

Challenge: From Fast Prototyping to Reliable, Cost-Effective Production

Across industries, Creallo’s customers are asking for lighter, stronger, and custom-engineered parts — delivered faster, and with a lower environmental footprint.

It’s no surprise, then, that global supply chain disruptions and increasing attention to IP security have driven demand for local, secure and scalable manufacturing in South Korea and the broader Asia-Pacific region.

Customers want:

  • Short and predictable lead times.
  • Series-ready quality and repeatability.
  • Competitive cost-per-part (CPP) at volume.
  • Processes aligned with stricter environmental and data-security requirements.

Traditional manufacturing and even existing SLA workflows made it difficult to balance all these demands. SLA processes were labor-intensive (support removal, washing, post-curing), slower for larger batches, and less cost-attractive at higher volumes. Scaling by simply adding more SLA systems would increase complexity and manual work rather than efficiency.

Creallo needed a way to bridge the gap between rapid prototyping and industrial-grade production with:

  • Reliable, repeatable part quality across larger batches.
  • Higher throughput in the same footprint.
  • Better critical process parameters, without compromising mechanical performance.
  • A more sustainable process that reduces material waste.

They also wanted a solution that would integrate seamlessly with their AI-driven Design for Manufacturability and instant-quotation platform. That way, customers could move from design upload to production at scale on a single, digital workflow.

Solution: EOS P3 NEXT With PA 2220 HighReuse

To address these challenges, Creallo became the first company in the Asia-Pacific region to adopt the EOS P3 NEXT system, combined with the PA 2220 HighReuse material.

As a strategic partner of EOS, Creallo is not only using the P3 NEXT for customer production but also collaborating with EOS on best practices, application development, and process optimization to make the most of the system’s capabilities.

 

“With the EOS P3 NEXT we finally have a system that feels like true production, not just faster prototyping. We can rely on repeatable quality and predictable throughput, which is critical when our customers move from pilot runs to series production.”
Heejoong Kim, CEO at Creallo

 

High-Performance and Eco-Friendly Material: PA 2220 HighReuse

Using PA 2220 HighReuse, Creallo can re-use up to 70 % of powder in the next build, significantly reducing material waste and supporting a lower carbon footprint. Simultaneously, the material delivers high heat resistance and impact strength, making it suitable for demanding drone, robotics, and medical applications.

 

“PA 2220 HighReuse lets us combine high performance with a more responsible use of resources. We can re-use a large portion of the powder while still achieving the part quality our customers expect.”

Advanced Printer Capabilities for Production

The EOS P3 NEXT provides:

  • High throughput with faster print speeds and efficient nesting strategies for dense build jobs.
  • Consistent, high-density parts that support reliable, repeatable mechanical performance.
  • Streamlined post-processing based on powder removal, which is significantly simpler than SLA’s support removal, washing and post-curing steps.

This allows Creallo to support both small batches and customized production runs as well as larger series, with superior productivity and a more attractive CPP for complex geometries and precision parts.

 

Seamless Fit With Creallo’s AI-Driven Platform

The P3 NEXT’s industrial capabilities integrate naturally with Creallo’s AI-driven DFM and instant quotation platform:

  • Designs are automatically checked for manufacturability and optimized for P3 NEXT production.
  • Customers receive accurate pricing and lead times based on the true performance of the system.
  • Orders can be routed intelligently between SLA, SLS, CNC and other processes to balance cost, lead time, and performance.

Results: Reliable, Repeatable and More Cost-Attractive Production

10x Production Capacity Compared to SLA Workflows

With the EOS P3 NEXT in place, Creallo has achieved a tenfold increase in effective production capacity compared to its previous SLA workflows — equivalent to operating around ten industrial SLA printers for comparable applications.

This allows Creallo to:

  • Take on larger series orders without extending lead times.
  • Consolidate work on fewer systems, simplifying planning and operations.
  • Reserve SLA capacity for applications where it adds the most value.

 

“We’ve gained roughly 10x the throughput for suitable applications, with less manual work and fewer process steps.”
Heejoong Kim, CEO at Creallo

3D printed polymer parts serve several fields of application

Shorter Lead Times With Simplified Post-Processing

Because parts produced on the P3 NEXT only require powder removal, Creallo can reduce post-processing time significantly compared to SLA processes that need support removal, washing and post-curing.

  • Up to 30 % lead time reduction for selected applications vs. SLA-based production.
  • Less manual labor per part, enabling faster turnaround for urgent orders.

Reliability, Repeatability, and Part Quality

The combination of EOS hardware and PA 2220 HighReuse enables consistent part quality and repeatable results across builds — a key requirement for Creallo’s customers in regulated and safety-critical sectors.

  • Stable mechanical properties across batches.
  • High-dimensional accuracy for complex geometries.
  • Reliable series production for robotics, drone, and medical device components.

 

Cost Attractiveness and Sustainability

By combining state-of-the-art hardware with high-reuse PA 2220 HighReuse powder, Creallo can offer more cost-attractive CPP without compromising part performance:

  • Up to 70 % powder reuse reduces material waste and cost per build.
  • More efficient nesting and higher throughput reduce machine time per part.
  • Simpler post-processing further lowers labor costs.

At the same time, Creallo’s certifications for ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) and ISO 27001 (Information Security) underline its commitment to ESG and secure production — helping customers meet their own sustainability and compliance targets.
