Precision Resource adds two US metal printing sites using 3D Systems machines

US manufacturer Precision Resource is opening two additional additive manufacturing facilities in Huntington Beach, California, and Shelton, Connecticut, equipped with 3D Systems machines. The company plans to add new printing systems, in-house heat treatment and more precision machining capacity at the sites. The stated aim is a more integrated route from the printed part to the finished component for commercial and defence customers. Both sites are expected to start operations in the first quarter of 2027. The reports give no figures on system counts or investment volume.

Context Heat treatment of printed metal parts relaxes internal stresses and sets the material properties, and it is usually done after printing and before machining.
