Founded in 2017 in Mount Pleasant, Tronix3D is a Pittsburgh additive manufacturer producing prototype and low-volume production parts for engineering teams. Co-owners Mike Vindler and Jason Economou, who acquired the company in 2021 after previously working with it as customers, have expanded its engineering and production capabilities to include design consulting and industrial 3D printing. The company also uses SAF ReLife™ to turn unused PA12 powder into production parts, giving its manufacturing work a distinct waste-reduction angle.

M2 Additive Manufacturing LLCFounded in 2018 by three Penn State engineering graduates, M2 Additive Manufacturing provides 3D printing, rapid prototyping, and product-development support from its Butler, Pennsylvania facility. The family business is especially known for developing and patenting the BeltXTruder, a technology for printing extremely flexible filaments, while helping inventors and manufacturers move projects from early concepts to working parts. M2 keeps its manufacturing and prototyping work in the United States and serves clients across Western Pennsylvania, the Ohio Valley, and beyond.BUTLER, PA
My Favorite Prints, IncFounded in Pennsylvania in 2020, My Favorite Prints turns designs, photographs and sketches into custom 3D models, printed parts and sculpture art. The York company also gives failed FDM prints a second life through a recycling and donation initiative intended to keep scraps out of landfills while helping classrooms obtain 3D-printing equipment and training. It began with a single 3D printer in 2019 and later coordinated face-shield donations during the COVID-19 supply shortage.YORK, PA
Rapid TPCFounded in Pittsburgh in 2013, Rapid TPC manufactures thermoplastic composite parts and develops quick-turn prototypes for customers seeking lightweight, fiber-reinforced components. Its automated matched-die forming process handles complex 3D geometries with cycle times similar to injection molding, while the company’s engineering team helps move designs from material selection through production. Rapid TPC grew from an idea in the Alphalab Gear hardware accelerator into a manufacturer serving production needs from 100 parts to more than 1 million annually.PITTSBURGH, PA
Verde Mantis, LPPennsylvania-based Verde Mantis, LP designs and builds the Mantis desktop 3D Printer in the United States, along with upgrades and engineering services. Founded by Joe Sinclair, the company built its flagship machine around a two-step, file-to-print experience, with onboard software and sensors handling much of the setup that traditionally challenges new users. Its small team also applies the engineering and manufacturing experience behind the printer to customer product-development and prototyping work.EAST STROUDSBURG, PA
