Item 1. Business. Overview We seek to fulfill the promise of additive manufacturing (“ AM ”), also referred to as three-dimensional printing (“ 3D printing ”), to deliver breakthroughs in performance, cost, and lead time in the production of high-value metal parts.
Added
Item 1. Business. Overview We are a production-focused metal additive manufacturing technology company that develops and manufactures advanced metal additive manufacturing systems and provides production and engineering services that enable customers to manufacture high-value metal parts at scale. Additive manufacturing (“AM”), also referred to as three-dimensional printing (“3D printing”), has historically been used primarily for prototyping and limited production applications.
Removed
We produce a fully integrated hardware and software solution based on our proprietary laser powder bed fusion (“ L-PBF ”) technology, which greatly reduces and often eliminates the need for support structures. Our technology enables the production of highly complex, mission-critical parts that existing AM solutions cannot produce without the need for redesign or additional assembly.
Added
We believe the industry is transitioning toward production-scale deployment, particularly in defense, aerospace, energy and other industrial markets where supply chain resilience, rapid innovation cycles and complex engineering requirements are critical.
Removed
We believe our technology is years ahead of competitors. 8 Our technology is novel compared to other AM technologies based on its ability to deliver high-value metal parts that have complex internal channels, structures, and geometries.
Added
Our business combines two complementary operating models: • Equipment sales, consisting primarily of our Sapphire family of metal additive manufacturing systems and associated software; and • Production and engineering services, delivered through our Rapid Production Solutions (“RPS”) offering and Expert Services organization.
Removed
This affords a wide breadth of design freedom for creating new metal parts and it enables replication of existing parts without the need to redesign the part to be manufacturable with AM. Because of these features, we believe our technology and product capabilities are highly valued by our customers.
Added
Together, these models allow customers to adopt additive manufacturing through printer ownership, service-based production or hybrid manufacturing deployments driven by program requirements, capital availability and manufacturing readiness. We aim to enable our customers to build resilient supply chains for production parts across industries with a clear, reliable path from concept to production through our RPS offering.
Removed
Our customers are primarily original equipment manufacturers (" OEMs ") and contract manufacturers (" CMs ") who look to AM to solve issues with traditional manufacturing technologies for metal parts. Those traditional manufacturing technologies rely on processes, including casting, stamping and forging, that typically require high volumes to drive competitive costs and have long lead times for production.
Added
Our technology supports production of mission-critical components such as propulsion hardware, hypersonic engine parts, thermal management systems, airframe components, and advanced munitions. These capabilities contribute to reduced lead times, minimized labor costs, and enhanced readiness while ensuring secure domestic manufacturing free of foreign technology dependencies.
Removed
Our customers look to AM solutions to produce assemblies that are lighter, stronger, and more reliable than those manufactured with traditional technologies. Our customers also expect AM solutions to drive lower costs for low-volume parts and substantially shorter lead times.
Added
Our strategy is to serve as a production enabler, helping customers move from early design exploration through qualified manufacturing and into sustained full-rate production using a consistent technology platform.
Removed
However, many of our customers have found that legacy AM technologies failed to produce the required designs for the high-value metal parts and assemblies that our customers wanted to produce with AM. As a result, other AM solutions often require that parts be redesigned so that they can be produced and frequently incur performance losses for high-value applications.
Added
Our platform combines: • Flow print preparation software • The Sapphire family of metal additive manufacturing systems • Assure quality assurance software • Our proprietary Intelligent Fusion manufacturing process These technologies are supported by our Expert Services engineering teams and RPS production capabilities, forming an integrated manufacturing platform designed to deliver scalable, repeatable and economically viable production outcomes.
Removed
In contrast, our technology can deliver complex high value metal parts with the design advantages, lower costs and faster lead times associated with AM, and generally avoids the need to redesign the parts. As a result, our customers have increasingly adopted our technology into their design and production processes.
Added
A key capability underlying our production services and commercial model is our ability to produce repeatable manufacturing outcomes across multiple systems and locations. Through validated manufacturing instructions, sometimes referred to internally as “Golden Print Files,” we capture process parameters, calibration conditions and build instructions required to manufacture a qualified 8 part.
Removed
We believe our value is reflected in our sales patterns, as most customers purchase a single machine to validate our technology and purchase additional systems over time as they embed our technology in their product roadmap and manufacturing infrastructure.
Added
Once established, these validated build files enable customers to reproduce parts across different Sapphire systems while targeting consistent geometry, material properties and performance outcomes.
Removed
We consider this approach a “land and expand” strategy, oriented around a demonstration of our value proposition followed by increasing penetration with key customers.
Added
We believe this repeatability enables a flexible production model in which customers may begin with first article and qualification builds through Velo3D-operated RPS and Expert Services and subsequently scale production through printer ownership, continued production services with Velo3D or deployment across a distributed network of contract manufacturers operating Sapphire systems.

We offer customers a fully integrated solution, which includes the following key components: • Flow print preparation software conducts a sophisticated analysis of the features of the metal part and specifies a production process that significantly reduces and often eliminates the need for support structures. • Sapphire metal AM printers produce the part using our proprietary L-PBF technology.
Added
We believe that our part producibility is ahead of our competitors as a result of our tool path generation software namely “Flow” which comprises custom low angle and within part feature based process customization.
Removed
Our technology produces metal parts by fusing many thousands of very thin layers of metal powder with a precisely controlled laser beam in a sophisticated software defined sequence (or “recipe”) prescribed by our Flow software. • Assure quality assurance software validates the product made by Sapphire printers to confirm that each layer is made to the specifications required by the original design. • Intelligent Fusion is the underlying manufacturing process that binds software and hardware together into a complete manufacturing solution that produces repeatable outcomes across different family of Sapphire systems.
Added
Industry Background Traditional metal manufacturing methods such as casting, forging and machining are optimized for high-volume production but can involve long-lead times, tooling constraints and geographically complex supply chains. These limitations have become increasingly visible in industries supporting national security, aerospace systems and energy infrastructure, where program timelines and supply continuity are critical.
Removed
Legacy AM technologies often rely on internal supports to prevent deformation of the metal part during the 3D printing process. These supports inhibit the production of parts with complex internal geometries, which are often required in high-performance applications, because there is limited or no access to remove them after production.
Added
In addition, aerospace and defense manufacturers often face significant and unpredictable costs associated with poor quality in traditional manufacturing processes. Initial casting and tooling quotations may appear economically attractive relative to additive manufacturing; however, once tooling is developed and first articles are delivered, systematic defects can emerge across production batches.
Removed
Our technological advances enable our Sapphire family of systems to print metal parts that significantly reduce and often eliminates the need for internal supports, which enables our customers to produce designs that would otherwise be infeasible to make with conventional AM technology.
