3D Printing Is Everywhere…

But What Does It Mean?

According to Wiki: 3D printing is any of various processes used to make a three-

dimensional object. In 3D printing, additive processes are used, in which successive

layers of material are laid down under computer control. These objects can be of almost any shape or geometry, and are

produced from a 3D model or other electronic data source. A 3D printer is a type of industrial robot.

… In Reality It Means So Many Things!

…Or When Function Becomes Enabled By 3D PrintingGive back mobility and hope at fraction of a price

Bring innovation to the surgeon with the patient in mind

Make structures lighter and saving energy

Reduce assembly with new design never manufacturable before

… And Sometimes Just Pure Art

3D Printing & Business3D Printing provides unique advantages for businesses: Affordable Customization Allows manufacture of more efficient designs – lighter, stronger, less assembly

required One machine, unlimited product lines Very small objects Efficient use of raw materials (less waste) Pay by weight – complexity is free Batches of one created on demand New supply chain and retail opportunities Prototyping allows for more affordable and quicker design testing

About OPM

Oxford Performance Materials (OPM) is a recognized leader in high performance additive manufacturing, delivering enterprise level, functional end-use products to the biomedical, aerospace and industrial markets. Since 1998, the founders of OPM have been developing advanced technology for a range of applications for the high performance polymer, poly-ether-ketone-ketone (PEKK). OPM has developed the proprietary processes necessary to build end-use products in PEKK using 3D printing/additive manufacturing (“AM”). OPM’s initial market focus areas are patient specific medical implants and the building of unique, complex parts in support of the aerospace industry. By concentrating on the most attractive sections of the AM value chain – the delivery of extremely high margin end-use products while establishing substantial barriers to entry in large addressable markets – OPM has established a unique position within the high-profile, high-growth 3D printing industry.
