One of the most challenging tasks for a contract manufacturer (CM) is expansion. Typically, the specific capabilities within a CM tend to be customized for their existing customer base and for their existing parts demand. This means that expansion within industries or into new industries is difficult.
SBOT are taking this challenge head on with the support of Velo3D’s end-to-end manufacturing solution and Velo3D’s technical sales engineers. The Velo3D sales model is unique for a metal 3D printer OEM: to enable faster growth, Velo3D builds a portion of the demand for their CM network for free. They consult with OEMs during their design phase and educate them on what is possible with the most advanced metal additive manufacturing technology on the market. This process is attractive to OEMs as it unlocks new levels of performance and supply chain agility, but it also creates demand for the differentiated manufacturing infrastructure that Velo3D provides.
SBOT, a leader in manufacturing for the oil and gas industry, has the vision to both expand inside of its flagship markets but also to grow into new markets like space, aviation, and emerging energy. By leveraging Velo3D’s proven metal AM capabilities and their application-led sales model, SBOT expect to do what very few CM companies have ever done, taking their business to new heights.
