Slant 3D

At Slant 3D, we are working to make high-volume 3D Printing a viable and more scalable alternative to traditional manufacturing. We develop hardware, software, and techniques to allow 3D printing devices to produce parts at any volume. Our current focus is on large-scale 3D printing farms.

Traditional manufacturing techniques require high up-front expenses and long term, high volume production of components to amortize those initial expenses. But if there is a mistake in the product or the market changes, so that the product must be modified, companies may lose the entire investment in molds and tooling. This high risk also makes entry into high volume production challenging to small or new businesses.

3D printing allows an idea to go from conception to manufacture quickly and much more affordably. Since 3D printing materializes products, there are no tooling costs. This means that a company wishing to produce a product need only design it and then pay for the raw materials that are used to produce it in any volume ranging from a few dozen to several thousand. 

3D printing puts hardware products on equal footing with software products around production costs. Production Printing allows products to be produced at a very low cost and constantly updated with no large upfront capital expenditures.
