OPT Industries was founded on the idea that limitations are temporary and innovation can push the boundaries of material possibilities.
We’re leading the way towards completely automated, factory-floor 3D printing. In addition to patented machinery, our state-of-the-art design software eliminates rendering time and offers incredible control over material performance. By developing our technology in-house, we customize polymers, rapidly iterate designs, and scale products to commercialization for our customers.
ULTRA PRECISE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Our patented 3D printing machinery allows for automated, 24/7 production of materials and products of any length, and with incredible precision. At the heart of the system is RAMP™, OPT’s flagship photolithography technology and the world’s first roll-to-roll 3D printing platform. This advancement allows us to avoid the usual constraints of a build area, and improve manufacturing quality controls.
ALGORITHMIC 3D DESIGN SOFTWARE
We build our own design software, which operates more like a digital loom than a traditional blueprint. This allows for customization throughout a single length of material, including varying texture, stiffness, and density. By using a proprietary file type, we compile 3D files 15x faster than traditional formats. This capability accelerates prototype iterations to reduce our customer’s overall time-to-market.
A VIRTUAL FACTORY
fOS™ is OPT’s cloud-based factory workflow that allows our manufacturing system to collect, organize, and manage our customers’ designs to ensure a high level of production quality while maximizing efficiency. Our tools provide instant visualization of structures and data streams to automatically check for errors and optimize for rapid production.
MATERIALS DEVELOPED IN-HOUSE
We create formulations in-house to ensure high quality at competitive prices. Our material science team creates photopolymer resins that are tailored to meet customer requirements for a range of use cases. Building materials directly from one polymer streamlines our supply chain, reducing transportation costs and lead times.
OPT’s proprietary production process avoids the higher costs and lead times associated with conventional manufacturing tooling and international supply chains.
By consolidating our material formulation, design software, and mass manufacturing capabilities in-house, OPT Industries delivers products that are ready for market within a fraction of the time of other solutions.
