Our History
From our founding as a boutique prototyping shop to becoming an AS9100D-certified, ITAR-registered leader in metal 3D printing and part of the BTX Precision family, our journey has been defined by relentless innovation, quality, and a focus on long-term customer relationships.
Decade-Plus Metal AM Expertise
With over 11 years dedicated to metal additive manufacturing, our team’s deep, “tribal” knowledge has been honed through thousands of successful builds—ensuring best-in-class processes and unrivaled production consistency.
Broad Material
Mastery
We’ve run open-parameter programs on EOS DMLS® platforms for more than a decade, printing over 20 metal alloys—from copper and super-nickels to multiple stainless steels, Haynes grades, aluminums, titaniums, and maraging steels—so you get the exact material properties your project demands.
Titanium
Pioneers
Renowned for our titanium Ti-6Al-4V expertise, we’ve led the industry in Ti64 production for 11 years, delivering superior strength-to-weight performance in critical aerospace, medical, and defense components.
Financial
Stability
i3D’s consistent, strategic growth has strengthened its financial stability and market position. Backed by strong, unencumbered support from a committed private equity partner, the company is well-equipped for continued expansion and long-term success.
Strategic Campus Expansion
In 2024/25, we’re nearly tripling our footprint—adding a 32,000 sq ft facility adjacent to our existing 15,000 sq ft factory—boosting capacity, R&D space, and production flexibility to serve your evolving needs.
Growth Model
The i3D Growth Model is designed around 5 strategic elements. Each reinforces the others to create a sum greater than its parts.
Quality Certifications
Committed to Quality: Certified for the Demands of Critical Industries
At i3D, quality is engineered into every layer of our process—from the initial design concept to final delivery. Our AS9100D and ITAR certifications are just the foundation. We continuously invest in advanced inspection technologies to ensure dimensional accuracy, material integrity, and repeatability at every stage of production.
Equipment & Inspection
Precision You Can Trust: i3D’s Integrated Quality Assurance
At i3D, quality is engineered into every layer of our process—from the initial design concept to final delivery. Our AS9100D and ITAR certifications are just the foundation. We continuously invest in advanced inspection technologies to ensure dimensional accuracy, material integrity, and repeatability at every stage of production.
Dimensional Confidence: Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMM)
Precision begins with measurement. Our Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs) deliver sub-micron accuracy, enabling us to validate complex geometries, tight tolerances, and intricate surface profiles. CMMs are indispensable for aerospace and defense components where even the slightest deviation can impact performance or compliance.
Internal Validation: Industrial CT Scanning
When internal structure is as critical as external form, industrial CT scanning offers a non-destructive, high-resolution look inside the part. This technology is essential for verifying internal cavities, wall thickness, and porosity—especially in complex DMLS-printed parts with lattice structures or internal channels—ensuring comprehensive quality from the inside out.
Surface Excellence: Optical Profilometers & Surface Roughness Testing
Surface finish plays a pivotal role in part performance, affecting friction, wear, and sealing. i3D uses optical profilometers and Mitutoyo Surface Roughness Testers to measure surface topography at micro and nano scales. Whether targeting a specific Ra value or qualifying a surface for coating or mating applications, we deliver accurate, non-destructive surface analysis.
Complete Visual & Internal Inspection: Borescopes and Digital Imaging
For detailed visual inspections, i3D utilizes both traditional and digital camera borescopes. These tools allow us to examine internal features and hard-to-reach areas with clarity and precision—ideal for complex geometries or post-processing quality checks.
Full-Field Verification: 3D Scanning
Using structured-light and laser-based 3D scanning systems, including our Romer Absolute Arm with Hexagon software, we rapidly generate full-field digital models for inspection and reverse engineering. This data is directly compared to CAD models to detect warping, deformation, or dimensional drift—an essential tool for first article inspections, batch verification, and design iterations.
Fundamental Precision: Hand Tools & Gaging Equipment
Our quality lab also includes a suite of precision hand tools for fast, accurate dimensional checks. These tools complement our digital systems, allowing flexible, real-time inspections throughout production.
