BINDER JETTING 3D PRINTING SERVICE BUSINESS PLAN

I. Executive Summary

Company Description

ForgePrint Technologies (name denotes industrial forging and digital printing) is a Columbus, Ohio–based additive manufacturing services firm launching in 2026. We operate in the industrial additive manufacturing sector, specializing in binder jetting to produce complex metal parts and sand casting molds without traditional tooling. Our service portfolio includes high-speed, on-demand metal printing, sintering, post‑processing, and quality inspection for aerospace, automotive, and heavy industrial customers. We compete on speed, domestic capacity, and digital inventory management, enabling customers to shorten lead times and reduce supply‑chain risk. One-line: high-speed domestic binder-jet production for complex metal parts and molds.

Day-to-day activities include part design for additive, batching and printing on industrial-scale binder-jet lines, high-temperature sintering, finishing, dimensional inspection, and logistics to OEMs and tier suppliers. We target U.S.-based manufacturers needing low-to-mid-volume complex parts and foundries needing sand molds. Short-term goals: commercial launch in Q1 2026 with scaled production and customer onboarding. Long-term goals: expand capacity across additional lines and sites, establish national supply relationships, and capture repeat production contracts with major OEMs. One-line: scale reliable, domestic digital production to redefine the economics of complexity in U.S. manufacturing.

Problem

US small and medium manufacturers face long lead times and high upfront tooling costs for traditional casting and molding, which block low-to-medium volume production and cause lost bids and delayed programs. Conventional machining limits complex geometries needed by aerospace and automotive parts, and reliance on offshore tooling and slow physical prototyping creates supply chain fragility.

These constraints reduce agility, increase time-to-market and cost-per-part, raise inventory and capital tied to tooling, and concentrate supplier and geopolitical risk—excluding smaller firms from specialized contracts. Existing solutions leave a gap for domestic, low-to-medium volume, complex-part production without heavy tooling.

A Columbus, Ohio binder-jetting service launching in 2026 addresses this gap by offering domestic, on-demand production of complex metal parts and sand casting molds to accelerate innovation and secure supply chains. One line: remove tooling barriers so smaller US manufacturers can compete on price, speed, and complexity.

Solution

US manufacturers face long lead times, high tooling costs, and design limits for low-to-medium volumes, plus supply-chain exposure to international tooling suppliers. Our Columbus, Ohio binder-jetting service converts CAD models into metal parts and sand molds, enabling high-speed, on-demand production that removes physical tooling and cuts lead times from months to days.

We serve rapid design validation, low-to-medium volume replacement parts, and ready-to-cast sand cores for foundries, letting engineers iterate quickly, reduce up-front cost, and keep production domestic. Faster iterations and lower up-front cost.

Mission Statement

We accelerate US manufacturing by delivering high-performance components with speed, geometric freedom, and cost-efficiency through advanced binder jetting technology, strengthening domestic supply chains and enabling next-generation industrial innovation. We partner with manufacturers to replace traditional constraints with digital, on-demand production while upholding technical excellence and operational integrity. We exist to make American industry faster, more flexible, and more competitive.

Key Success Factors

Success depends on our technical edge, strategic location, rapid breakeven, broader service scope, and strict quality.

• Leverage binder-jetting process expertise for high-density parts
• Serve Midwest auto and industrial clusters from our location
• Reach operational breakeven within two months
• Offer metal and sand printing dual-capability for broader market
• Maintain 99% quality compliance and rapid delivery
