3D Systems has announced a planned expansion of its Rock Hill, South Carolina, location, with plans to add 100,000 square feet to its existing headquarters campus. 

The expansion will enable the company to consolidate its materials manufacturing, quality, and logistics operations, with new and expanded materials development laboratories to improve operational efficiencies, accelerate solution development, and reduce time to market. 

In addition, the company will expand its customer collaboration and training facilities, as well as its advanced manufacturing capabilities for both metal and polymer components. 

“While 3D Systems is a global company, our headquarters in South Carolina has been its center for many years,” 3D Systems President and CEO Dr. Jeffrey Graves said. “Through our restructuring and investment activities, we will bring new jobs to the area over the next five years which will contribute to the economic development of Rock Hill and South Carolina. The combination of state-of-the-art facilities; renowned hardware, materials, and software; and our leadership in application knowledge will be a catalyst for us to take our innovation to new heights – providing additive manufacturing solutions for specific, high-value applications in growing markets.”

The company's 3D printing solutions enable the design and manufacture of parts for a variety of applications, including NASCAR, Formula 1, and more.
