New facilities in California and Connecticut will add heat treatment and machining capabilities, with operations expected to begin in Q1 2027.
3D Systems and Precision Resource announced the groundbreaking of two new additive manufacturing locations, one in Huntington Beach, California, and one in Shelton, Connecticut. Precision Resource will further add in-house heat treatment and expand its complex machining capabilities, giving commercial and defense customers a more integrated path from 3D printed part to finished component. The facilities will utilize advanced metal additive manufacturing systems from 3D Systems and are expected to be operational in Q1 2027, a milestone that coincides with Precision Resource’s 80th year in business.
In Huntington Beach, California, Precision Resource is breaking ground on its second additive manufacturing location. This expansion will double the site’s current industrial additive manufacturing capacity.
In Shelton, Connecticut, the company is breaking ground on its first additive manufacturing location that can further expand as demand grows.
Together, the Huntington Beach and Shelton investments expand Precision Resource’s additive manufacturing ecosystem and strengthen its partnership with 3D Systems, creating a connected manufacturing network across both locations. The expansion positions Precision Resource to significantly increase production capacity while creating one of the most comprehensive metal additive manufacturing networks in North America, supporting growing demand from commercial and defense customers.
Precision Resource is expanding its additive manufacturing capabilities with the addition of 3D Systems’ DMP Flex 350 Triple metal 3D printing technology. These new machines add to the fleet of DMP 350 systems already in operation at Precision Resource, further expanding a proven additive manufacturing platform that has supported the company’s growth in production applications across commercial and defense markets. The platform combines high-throughput production with exceptional part quality and repeatability, helping Precision Resource meet growing demand for complex, production-grade metal components across commercial and defense markets.
