Founded in 2013 by Kurt Dudley and Doug Farber, Orange Maker develops scalable additive-manufacturing technology for producing 3D-printed parts in commercial and industrial settings. Its patented Heliolithography™ architecture replaces conventional layer-by-layer printing with a rotational, continuous spiral process designed to expand build size, throughput, and material capability. Based in Philadelphia and Los Angeles, OM works with manufacturing partners through technology licensing and strategic development.
Impossible ObjectsFounded by inventor Robert Swartz after he began developing its technology in 2009, Impossible Objects makes industrial 3D printers and composite parts through its proprietary Composite-Based Additive Manufacturing process. Its CBAM technology combines long-fiber carbon or fiberglass with thermoplastic polymers, enabling the company to produce strong, lightweight parts and electronics tooling at production-scale speeds. The company’s CBAM 25 printer is designed for high-volume manufacturing, while Impossible Objects also prints custom parts for demanding applications.ROCHESTER, NY
OMG AdditiveOMG Additive is Cincinnati’s first Ohio Valley provider of HP Multi Jet Fusion services, producing finished industrial 3D-printed parts for customers who need prototypes or production components quickly. The Original Maker’s Group was formed around a commitment to onshore manufacturing and restoring American-made craftsmanship, with hands-on service from engineers and delivery of finished parts in as little as 48 hours. Its work spans applications from automotive and motorsports to aerospace, medical engineering, and robotics, with finishing services available for end-use parts.CINCINNATI, OH
IC3D, IncFounded in 2012, central Ohio’s IC3D designs and builds large-format industrial 3D printers while using them to manufacture production parts in-house. The company’s vertically integrated operation also makes its own U.S.-made filament, taking projects from CAD and tooling through volume manufacturing with build volumes up to four cubic feet. IC3D has earned two federal SBIR awards for additive-manufacturing research and supports automotive, aerospace, defense, and other industrial customers.HILLIARD, OH
MakerGear, LLCFrom its Cleveland-area factory, MakerGear makes desktop and industrial 3D printers engineered for precision prototyping and production. The company’s machines are manufactured in the USA, with the M2—launched in 2012 and described as its original workhorse—bringing industrial-level performance to a compact footprint. MakerGear also earned a gold medal in the inaugural US Air Force Advanced Manufacturing Olympics, a fitting distinction for printers designed to run reliably over the long haul.BEACHWOOD, OH
