3D Systems and Precision Resource Break Ground on Two Metal Additive Manufacturing Facilities

Precision Resource broke ground on two additive manufacturing facilities, in Huntington Beach, California, and Shelton, Connecticut, that will use 3D Systems' DMP Flex 350 Triple metal printers and are expected to be operational in Q1 2027, Stock Titan reported on October 28, 2026. 3D Systems is the originator of 3D printing and supplies additive manufacturing hardware, materials, software and services to aerospace, defense, healthcare, dental, automotive and industrial customers, according to company records.

What Precision Resource Is Building in California and Connecticut

The Huntington Beach site is Precision Resource's second additive manufacturing location, and the expansion will double the site's current industrial additive manufacturing capacity. The Shelton site is the company's first additive manufacturing location and can expand further as demand grows. Precision Resource will also add in-house heat treatment and expand complex machining capabilities, giving commercial and defense customers a more integrated path from 3D printed part to finished component.

The new DMP Flex 350 Triple machines add to Precision Resource's existing fleet of DMP 350 systems. "This expansion is much more than adding machines. We are building something significant by connecting our Huntington Beach and Shelton operations into an integrated additive manufacturing network," said Chris Gratton, Director of Additive and Machine Operations at Precision Resource. Reji Puthenveetil, 3D Systems' EVP, Additive Solutions and Chief Commercial Officer, said the new facilities "will help accelerate the adoption of high-volume, production-grade metal additive manufacturing for critical commercial and defense applications." The Q1 2027 target coincides with Precision Resource's 80th year in business.
