THE ADDITIVE FACTORY is the additive manufacturing system which uses Versatile Thermoplastics Particle Manufacturing™ (VTPM™) technology – a new technology for thermoplastics extrusion additive manufacturing.

Why was there a need for technology that differs from others' thermoplastic 3D printer manufacturing standards?

  • Manufacturing today has a number of challenges.

  • Thermoplastics-based additive manufacturing has the potential to help overcome these challenges.

  • But there were definite limitations to existing thermoplastics-based AM.

  • VTPM and the Additive Factory (along with some other components) are part of an entire ecosystem developed to address these limitations.

VTPM is a technology platform that is setting the new gold standard in thermoplastics-based additive manufacturing system.

Why this is different

Instead of approaching the problem from the point of view of how existing 3D printing technology could be improved, VTPM was developed by working back from what manufacturing and industry actually needs.

The hardware, software and support to deliver useful, mainstream thermoplastics additive manufacturing was the result.
