Lake Forest, CA – June 2024 – MatterHackers, a leading provider of 3D printing solutions, is excited to announce a strategic partnership with BigRep, a pioneer in large-format 3D printing technology. This collaboration significantly enhances MatterHackers' portfolio, offering customers expanded capabilities for producing large-scale parts with professional-grade output.
The partnership with BigRep was facilitated by MatterHackers' acquisition of Source Graphics, which was completed in late 2023. This strategic move has positioned MatterHackers to broaden its offerings and cater to an even wider range of industrial and professional 3D printing needs.
"Integrating BigRep's innovative large-format 3D printers into our portfolio marks a significant milestone for MatterHackers," said Kevin Pope, Chief Operating Officer at MatterHackers. "This partnership allows us to offer our customers unprecedented capabilities in large-scale additive manufacturing, opening up new possibilities for industries ranging from automotive to aerospace."
In addition to expanding its product lineup, MatterHackers is also enhancing its service offerings to provide comprehensive support throughout the entire 3D printing lifecycle. Beyond the existing in-person setup and installation services, MatterHackers now offers lifetime maintenance options, ensuring that customers can maximize the longevity and performance of their 3D printing investments.
"Our growing suite of services reflects our commitment to not just selling 3D printers, but to being a true partner in our customers' additive manufacturing journey," explained Dave Gaylord, Chief Technology Officer at MatterHackers. "From initial consultation and setup to ongoing maintenance and technical support, we're dedicated to ensuring our customers achieve success with their 3D printing projects, regardless of scale or complexity."
BigRep's advanced 3D printing systems are renowned for their ability to produce large, complex parts with exceptional precision and speed. By incorporating these systems into its offerings and backing them with comprehensive services, MatterHackers reinforces its commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of professional and industrial users.
“Our partnership with MatterHackers marks a significant step forward in our mission to provide smart additive manufacturing solutions to a broader audience in the US market,” said Jeff Olson, Director of Business Development (Americas) at BigRep. “Built on years of collaboration with Source Graphics, this partnership is further strengthened by MatterHackers’ extensive AM hardware, software, and materials expertise. Their commitment to prioritizing customer success perfectly aligns with BigRep's vision of streamlining large-scale 3D printing adoption. We look forward to a successful partnership.”
This partnership and service expansion underscore MatterHackers' dedication to enhancing its professional-grade 3D printing capabilities, following the successful collaboration with Formlabs announced earlier this year. By continually improving its portfolio with industry-leading technologies and robust support services, MatterHackers remains at the forefront of the 3D printing industry, empowering customers to tackle increasingly complex and ambitious projects with confidence.
