1 FACT SHEET A LEADING 3D PRINTER MANUFACTURER EnvisionTEC is a leading global provider of professional-grade 3D printing solutions. The company s technologies are used to rapidly build precise, functional objects with fine surface finishes for prototypes, tooling, and short-run and full-production needs. 15 YEARS OF 3D PRINTING EnvisionTEC was founded in 2002 by engineer entrepreneur Al Siblani. After earning a bachelor s degree in engineering at Lawrence Technological University and a master s degree in electrical and computer engineering from Wayne State University, Siblani entered a 3D printing market still in its infancy. Siblani began working in 1993 for an early 3D printing company, Helisys, that used Laminated Object Manufacturing (LOM) technology to create prototypes for automakers and other commercial customers. Shortly thereafter, he founded Sibco Inc., which provided 3D printing services and materials. CEO and Founder Al Siblani In 1996, after mastering the 3D printing technologies and materials at that time, Siblani decided to make his own 3D printing machines using a novel idea to cure liquid resins into objects. Today, as the 3D printing market continues to mature, many different processes are used around the world to 3D print objects from digital design files. LOCATIONS AROUND THE GLOBE EnvisionTEC has facilities and partners around the world, where we develop 3D printer technologies and materials, manufacture our printers and sell, service and support our products.
