Key competences:
Collaborating with universities on MBJ printing of valves and various high precision nozzles and micro post processing. Usually we are a manufacturing partner.
AM-related projects:
Most of the projects we work on are NDA protected and we do not have the possibility to share information. We are working on couple of projects, we hope to showcase and add to our portfolio soon.

Capabilities, activities and services:
Solid World provides comprehensive Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) services, tailored to the specific requirements of each application. We actively support companies by reviewing and improving customer designs to align with the selected additive manufacturing process. Our goal is to ensure that each part is optimized not only for printability, but also for performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency.

Focus areas:
We offer introductory DfAM consulting (DfAM 101), where we guide companies on how to properly apply DfAM principles. Based on the intended use case, mechanical or environmental conditions, and functional requirements of the part, we advise on:
- The most suitable materials,
- The optimal production process (metal or polymer AM),
- Cost and lead-time considerations,
- Design improvements to meet both technical and economic goals,
- This service enables our clients to fully leverage the benefits of additive manufacturing and make informed decisions early in the product development cycle.

Description of industry services:
We provide end-to-end additive manufacturing services for industrial clients, covering everything from design to production.
Our services include:
- 3D printing of functional prototypes, tooling, and end-use parts, using a wide range of technologies including FDM, SLS, DLP, MBJ, and BMD.
- 3D scanning and reverse engineering, enabling accurate digitization of physical components for modification, quality control, or reproduction.
- DfAM consulting, helping companies adapt or redesign parts for additive production with optimal material use, performance, and cost.
- Digital inventory solutions to minimize supply chain risks and reduce capital locked in spare parts.
- Small-batch and custom part production, especially for applications where traditional manufacturing is slow or cost-prohibitive.
- Material selection and process optimization, ensuring the right match between application requirements and manufacturing capabilities.
- We work with companies across various industries including manufacturing, tooling and product development—delivering reliable and cost-effective solutions with short lead times.
