Our comprehensive material product development stack enables us to rapidly develop new customized polymers, shaped products, and quickly iterate on designs.
OPT Industries was founded on the idea that limitations are temporary, and innovation can push the boundaries of what’s possible. We’re leading the way towards completely automated, factory-floor compatible 3D printing. In addition to automated manufacturing, our state of the art design software eliminates rendering time and offers incredible control over material performance.
Ultra precise additive manufacturing technology. Automated, roll to roll production.
Our patented 3D printing machinery allows for automated 24/7 production of material products of any length, and with incredible precision. At the heart of the system is RAMP™, OPT’s flagship digital 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 custom built our in-house design software, which operates more like a digital loom than a blueprint. Our designers can create infinitely repeating patterns, without having to manually insert each thread in your customized textile or product, and can adjust the design with parameters, instead reconfiguring by hand with every product update. This allows customization throughout a single length of material, including varying textures, stiffness and density. By using a proprietary file type, we also avoid having to spend time and resources rendering and transferring files, which is over 40 times slower when using traditional 3D file formats.
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. This means we can do more with a smaller team, while producing exceptional results.
Materials developed in-house.
We are on a mission to create adaptable, materials to ensure the highest quality for the most efficient pricing. Our in-house material science team has already created multiple 3D printing resins that are more durable than competitors, at a fraction of the cost per kilogram – and we build those costs into each client relationship we build. While we are open to using any compatible material if it is desired or required for a finished product, we always work with our clients to find the most economically efficient solution possible.
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.
