Essentium Launches On-Demand AM Service Offering

Essentium, Inc., leader in industrial additive manufacturing (AM), has launched Essentium Parts On-Demand (EPOD,) an in-house production service grounded in its high speed extrusion (HSETM) 3D printing technology. The service offers manufacturers access to Essentium’s engineering expertise and open AM ecosystem of solutions for fast and cost-effective production of parts at scale, the company reports.

The EPOD service HSE printing  benefits and access to Essentium’s ecosystem. Customers can use Essentium’s engineering-grade filaments and employ EPOD’s “polymer-to-part” services to make parts from custom filaments formulated and made in-house.

The EPOD service operates nine HSE 3D printers and plans to expand to 15+ by the end of 2024. 

Joe Anguiano has been appointed as the sales director of EPOD to drive growth and customer satisfaction. 

“Ongoing economic and geopolitical turmoil is taking its toll on manufacturers, who have been forced to delay capital expenditure and seek alternative means to procure parts," says Anguiano, sales director of EPOD. "EPOD services will allow manufacturers to use the HSE platform, including high-performance materials, to produce parts at the right economics without capital investment. Educating new users on AM will also be critical to help them make the leap from prototyping to industrial-scale production.”
