3DX Industries, Inc. (OTCID: DDDX), a U.S.-based advanced manufacturing company, has provided additional details on the strategy and operating model of its recently established 3DX Advanced Systems Division. The division is being developed to expand the company’s role beyond individual component manufacturing and into a broader portion of the product-development process, according to a press release distributed via NEWMEDIAWIRE.
The Advanced Systems Division will connect product development, prototyping, design support, and advanced manufacturing within an integrated operating platform. This move is intended to position 3DX further up the value chain, allowing the company to participate not only in manufacturing components but also in the engineering and technical work that helps move an idea toward a manufacturable product.
“Advanced Systems is about moving 3DX further into the value chain,” said Roger Janssen, President and Chief Executive Officer of 3DX Industries. “Our goal is to participate not only in manufacturing a component, but, where the opportunity makes sense, in the engineering, product development and technical work that helps move an idea toward a manufacturable product.”
The company’s existing manufacturing capabilities provide a strong foundation for becoming involved earlier in customer projects. These capabilities include metal additive manufacturing, industrial printed plastics, precision CNC machining, design support, prototyping, finishing, and assembly. Advanced Systems is designed to build additional engineering and product-development capabilities around that manufacturing base rather than replace or reduce the company’s core manufacturing operations.
“The opportunity is in connecting technical development with the physical manufacturing knowledge required to turn an idea into something that can actually be built,” said Nicholas Coriano, Vice President of 3DX Industries. “By bringing those capabilities together, we believe 3DX can support customers through more stages of product development and become more deeply involved in the programs we support.”
Through Advanced Systems, 3DX intends to develop capabilities supporting multiple stages of the product-development process, including design-for-manufacturing review, engineering and product-development support, rapid prototyping, manufacturing process development, advanced manufacturing, and finishing and assembly. Broader participation across these stages can create opportunities for longer-term customer relationships and higher-value engineering and manufacturing work.
These capabilities are intended to support opportunities in artificial intelligence, robotics, intelligent physical systems, and related technologies, including opportunities to support emerging technology companies and product developers as they move ideas from concept toward functional physical products.
