Slant 3D's Large-Scale 3D Print Farms utilize 1000's of FDM 3D printers working 24/7 to offer limitless scalability and unparalleled flexibility. Whether it's 100 or 100,000 parts, our system can handle it reliably, while still allowing for real-time design updates, ensuring products evolve with the times. This adaptability is key in today's fast-paced world.

🌿 Sustainable Manufacturing: Eco-Friendly Efficiency
Embrace a system that drastically reduces carbon emissions by eliminating carbon-intensive steps in the supply chain, such as global shipping and warehousing. Our approach minimizes this footprint, offering a more sustainable manufacturing option.

⚙️ Digital Warehouses: Parts On-Demand
Think of print farms as a "Digital Warehouse", meaning we can store your parts digitally on a server rather than physically on a shelf. parts are available on-demand, reducing the need for extensive physical inventory.

I run a print farm and the highest cost is human labor to tend the machines. We have a small warehouse with high and low levels for each part. We avoid setting fewer than 20 machines off on a task. That way, all start and finish times are the same. The bank of printers all run the same filament and run the rolls out at the same time. The print beds can all be cleared into a single parts bin efficiently and quickly. An operator running lots and lots of different jobs would go insane. Having parts printed means the assembly team can fulfil an order without having to wait for a series of parts to print. Customers get their orders much more quickly because we buffer parts.
