American Manufacturing Renaissance

Building the Future of Employee-First Manufacturing

Our Mission

Spark an American manufacturing renaissance by proving that employee-first companies can compete with Wall Street-driven corporations through democratized manufacturing technology.

Demonstrate that domestic 3D printing and CNC operations can match overseas pricing while maintaining superior quality, creating living-wage jobs, and building the infrastructure that makes professional-grade production accessible to small American manufacturers who can compete with anyone in the world.

Core Principles That Drive Everything We Do

  • Never go public - maintaining decision-making freedom to prioritize employees
  • Business incubation program - help employees start their own businesses
  • Living wages over shareholder profits - always

Manufacturing Technology Commitment

  • Focus on automation and efficiency to compete globally
  • American-made technology whenever possible
  • Standing at base of huge scalable opportunity with 3D printing

One-Stop Shop Platform for Small Manufacturers
