From Fortune 100 companies like YETI, Johnson & Johnson, and Medtronic to growing startups — we help manufacturers plan, source, and launch their 3D printing and additive manufacturing programs.
Facility setup? Equipment selection? Design for Additive Manufacturing (DFAM)? We'll guide you through every step. Real engineers. Real experience. No consultants — just the people who build parts every day.
Whether you're starting from scratch or optimizing an existing operation, we provide actionable guidance based on real manufacturing experience — not theory.
Most Popular
Planning to bring 3D printing in-house? We help you plan your facility from the ground up — space layout, environmental controls (temperature & humidity), electrical requirements, ventilation, and workflow design.
High Demand
Not sure which 3D printer to buy? We evaluate your application requirements, volume needs, and budget to recommend the right equipment — from entry-level to industrial-grade. We also help source and procure.
DFAM
3D printing isn't just "printing a CAD file." Parts designed for CNC or injection molding often waste material and performance. We review and redesign parts to take full advantage of additive manufacturing's unique capabilities.
Make the Right Choice
Should you print it, machine it, or injection mold it? We analyze your part requirements, volumes, and economics to recommend the right manufacturing process — including hybrid approaches combining multiple technologies.
Pre-Production
Before you hit print, have our engineers review your STL files. We check for watertightness, wall thickness, tolerance, and printability — catching errors before they waste material and time on the machine.
Strategic
Building a sustainable additive manufacturing program? We help you develop internal capabilities, workflows, quality management systems, and a roadmap for scaling AM adoption across your organization.
We've advised and supported manufacturers and brands of every size — from startups launching their first product to Fortune 100 companies like YETI, Johnson & Johnson, and Medtronic building enterprise-scale additive manufacturing programs.
Johnson & Johnson, Medtronic, and other global manufacturers building AM programs.
FDA-regulated manufacturers building compliant AM workflows for surgical guides, devices, and diagnostics.
Tier 1 suppliers and defense contractors setting up ITAR-compliant additive manufacturing capabilities.
Startups and scaling businesses building their first in-house manufacturing capability — right-sized and budget-conscious.
"3D Creation Systems didn't just recommend equipment — they helped us build an entire AM program from the ground up. Their engineers understand manufacturing from the shop floor, not from a textbook."

Getting started with our consulting services is straightforward. No lengthy sales cycles, no gatekeeping — just a direct conversation with engineers who know manufacturing.
Tell us what you're trying to accomplish. We'll listen, ask the right questions, and determine if and how we can help.
We dig into your requirements — application, volume, budget, timeline, and constraints. This shapes a clear scope of work.
We deliver actionable recommendations — reports, designs, specifications, or hands-on support. Everything is documented and ready to implement.
Questions come up during implementation. We offer follow-on support to make sure your program gets launched successfully.
We're selective about the projects we take on. If we're the right fit, we'll tell you honestly. If we're not, we'll point you in the right direction — no obligation.
Whether you're starting fresh or scaling up, let's talk. Free initial consultation — no obligation, no sales pitch. Just an honest conversation about what you need.
