Overview
miniFactory is a Finnish 3D printing solution provider specializing in high-performance polymers and composites. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Seinäjoki, Western Finland, the company designs and manufactures all its products in Finland, ensuring uncompromising quality and reliability.
miniFactory’s technology is developed for industries that demand extreme material performance and certified quality, including aerospace, defense, energy, and transportation. With an open material system, customers gain flexibility and reduced operating costs while maintaining reliability and compliance with industry standards.
Every miniFactory system features an integrated quality assurance platform that verifies the consistency of printed parts to ensure they meet strict performance requirements. This capability positions additive manufacturing as a viable alternative to traditional methods in critical applications where traceability and reliability are essential.
With proven technology, global reach, and a strong industrial focus, miniFactory serves as a trusted partner for companies seeking a complete additive manufacturing solution.
Legacy
Since its founding in 2012, miniFactory has pursued a clear mission: to make industrial 3D printing with high-performance polymers accessible, reliable, and certifiable. Today, more than 100 miniFactory systems are installed across Europe, serving leading companies in the aerospace, defense, energy, and rail sectors. While the company’s compact and efficient technology is valued across industries, it has gained particular recognition in defense applications and spare part production for the railway sector.
Quality assurance has been at the core of miniFactory’s innovation. The company’s integrated monitoring system ensures that every part is produced with full traceability and documented reliability — features that distinguished miniFactory from competitors early on.
A major milestone was achieved at Deutsche Bahn’s Neumünster AM facility, which became one of the first sites in the world to receive certification under the ISO/ASTM 52920:2023 standard by TÜV NORD GROUP. This certification process confirmed the compatibility of miniFactory Ultra printers with the highest global benchmark for additive serial production, reinforcing the company’s position as a trusted technology leader in high-performance polymer 3D printing.
