Velo3D expands California campus. A new plant will contain more than 100 metal 3D printers to meet customer needs. * michael mcconnell * 1 hr ago * 1 min to read. Metal additive manufacturing company Velo3D Inc. has added to its California footprint. Officials say the almost 289,000-sq-ft (26,849-sq-m) new building in Livermore, Calif., is one of the largest dedicated to additive manufacturing in North America. The facility, which has almost 10 million cu ft of production space, will help Velo3D meet customer demand in aerospace, defense and energy as the AM industry evolves. The plant should open this year. It will have 36-ft-tall ceilings, allowing Velo3D to install 40-plus large-format systems now and larger ones in the future. It also has capacity for machine manufacturing, in-house post-processing operations and production-scale manufacturing of mission-critical components. Velo3D's headquarters will remain In Freemont, Calif. In a statement, Velo3D CEO Arun Jeldi said his company is seeing strong demand for its services. "This expansion is a reflection of the increasing demand we are seeing from customers who want to move beyond prototyping and qualification into production," Jeldi said. "Our customers are looking for more than technology. They are looking for a trusted partner that can help them qualify applications, scale production, strengthen supply chains, and accelerate innovation. "Fremont will continue serving as our center for engineering, process development, and qualification, while Livermore becomes a cornerstone of our production strategy," he said. "Together, these facilities create a powerful manufacturing ecosystem that helps customers move from concept to production faster while leveraging the technology, expertise and solutions that make Velo3D unique."

Velo3D, a metal additive manufacturing company, has announced a major expansion with a new 289,000-square-foot facility in Livermore, California, one of the largest metal 3D printing buildouts in North America. The facility is expected to become operational later this year. The Livermore Production Campus features 270,000 square feet of manufacturing space with 36-foot clear heights, providing nearly 10 million cubic feet of production volume. It will initially accommodate over 40 large-format additive manufacturing systems, with infrastructure to scale beyond 100 systems. The expansion complements Velo3D's Fremont headquarters, which will focus on research, development and qualification activities. Combined, the facilities will encompass 125 machines across two campuses, supporting growing demand from aerospace, defence and energy sectors as additive manufacturing transitions from prototyping to scaled production.
