Mantle's 3D metal printing technology is significantly less complicated and less expensive than existing solutions. Our proprietary material science and machine design result in a printer that is smaller, safer and easier to deploy then anything in the market today. Mantle believes every company should have access to the new part geometries, rapid prototyping capabilities and distributed manufacturing benefits enabled by the additive manufacturing of metal parts.

Freeform is deploying software-defined, autonomous metal 3D printing factories around the world, bringing the scalability of software to physical production. Our proprietary technology stack leverages advanced sensing, real-time controls, and data-driven learning to produce digitally-verified, flawless parts at unprecedented speed and cost. Our mission is to make the transformative power of 3D printing available to all industries at scale and unlock the future of innovation.

We build process management and automation software for some of the largest companies operating in additive manufacturing/3D printing, backed by data. Our connectivity to machines and modularity in performance sets us apart. Today, our tools are helping to make companies more knowledgeable and efficient at using additive manufacturing for production. Tomorrow, we'll enable them to start making parts remotely - the future of manufacturing is distributed.

MOO is an international design & print company based in London, and founded in 2006. Back then there were only a few members of the MOO Crew working out of a small warehouse space, but we’re now a little larger, with 5 offices across the globe and a 200 strong HQ in Central London (currently in Old Street, but as of March 2016 we'll be in shiny new offices in Farringdon!) Design is a fundamental part of our DNA – as is a sense of fun in everything we do. Our small-team feel is alive and kicking - everyone says hello in the morning, we laugh a lot, and we look after each other too. You’ll find yourself working alongside people from all parts of the world, who've come here from a huge variety of backgrounds, previous experience and of all shapes, sizes, ages and pudding preferences.

Our mission is to advance product innovation with metal 3D printing. Current metal 3D printers are out of reach for most engineers and designers. They are industrial, cost-prohibitive, and can be dangerous. We are making an affordable, office-friendly system so that every design and engineering team has the ability to 3D print with metal.
