Contract Manufacturing

Bringing Efficiency and Flexibility to Contract Manufacturing

What are you making today? Contract manufacturers need to be able to turn over the factory floor on a dime. One day you're making soft handlebar grips for a bicycle manufacturer, the next it's a cordless telephone handset. Every customer is different but the results must be the same: the uniform production of high-quality goods and parts at the lowest possible cost. Essentium can help you achieve these goals through additive manufacturing. The Essentium HSE 180 3D Printing Platform gives engineers the speed to iterate on designs faster than ever before to meet crushing deadlines. Eliminate prototyping delays and quickly create the jigs and fixtures needed to execute production runs in-house. A wide range of high-performance materials including the industry's leading ESD-safe, non-marring filaments are available for electronics applications.
