Metal additive manufacturing systems for aerospace, defense and energy parts
Velo3D builds integrated metal 3D printing systems for mission-critical parts in space, defense, energy and transportation. Its stack pairs optical and mechanical CAD (Zemax, SolidWorks, Siemens NX, CATIA) with PyTorch, OpenCV and EtherCAT, pointing to ML-driven printability modeling layered onto multi-laser hardware. Hiring is engineering- and manufacturing-heavy, matching pressure to scale Sapphire system output and move designs from prototype to production.
