Overview
Complete OEM Manufacturing for Your Brand
We do not just put your logo on our printer. Our OEM process gives you control over mechanical configuration, electrical architecture, enclosure design, firmware identity, packaging experience, and certification scope — producing a printer that is genuinely yours, backed by our manufacturing expertise.
With a production network in Shenzhen that has built printers for a living, an engineering group of around 15 R&D engineers, and QC that tests every unit, we de-risk the OEM process for our partners. Your brand and market stay yours — the engineering, production, and compliance work runs through one door.

Color & Finish
Color Matching & Surface Finishes
Your brand has a specific color palette. We match it precisely across all printer surfaces using industrial color systems and provide physical finish samples for approval before production.
Color Systems
We match to RAL Classic, RAL Design, Pantone C/U, and custom formulations. Powder coating for metal panels: matte, satin, semi-gloss, and textured finishes available. Anodizing for aluminum parts in natural, black, and custom colors. Injection-molded plastic parts in any color with color chip approval. Color consistency verified with spectrophotometer across production batches within Delta E less than or equal to 1.5.
Finish Options
Powder coat: smooth matte, fine texture, coarse texture, hammer tone, metallic. Anodized: clear, brushed + clear, sandblasted + colored, hard coat. Plastic: matte, gloss, soft-touch, metallic flake. Decals and overlays: die-cut vinyl, screen-printed polycarbonate, domed resin badges, metal nameplates with etched/painted lettering. Physical finish sample cards provided for approval.
Branding Techniques
Laser engraving: precise, permanent marking on metal and coated surfaces. Silk screening: multi-color printing on panels with Pantone-matched inks. UV digital printing: full-color, photo-quality graphics on flat surfaces. Pad printing: for small logos on irregular surfaces. Embossed/debossed logos in molded plastic parts. Metal badge attachment with adhesive or mechanical fasteners. All techniques tested for durability (abrasion, cleaning chemicals, UV exposure).
OEM Process
From Brief to Production: The 5-Phase Process
Our structured OEM process keeps your project on schedule and on budget. A dedicated project manager guides you through each phase with clear deliverables, timelines, and approval gates.
Phase 1: Specification
Typically 1-2 weeks
You provide: brand guidelines, target market, feature priorities, target retail price point, and target certifications. We translate this into a Technical Specification Document (TSD) with: complete bill of materials (BOM) listing every component and its supplier, preliminary 3D renders of the customized enclosure, firmware customization scope, estimated unit cost at target volumes, and project timeline with milestones.
Phase 2: Engineering Sample
Typical 4-6 weeks
We build 3-5 fully functional prototype units incorporating all agreed customizations. These are production-intent samples — not rough prototypes. Each sample ships to you for evaluation. Deliverables include: physical samples with all customizations, print quality test results (Benchy, dimensional accuracy, overhang, bridging), firmware with your branded boot screen and UI, packaging mockup, and sample review checklist.
Phase 3: Certification
Dependent on scope
We manage the compliance scope with accredited third-party laboratories. What we hold already is on file — CE (LVD) and RoHS reports on file — and what a market needs beyond that (US radio authorization, retail safety listing, Korea/India/South Africa/UK-style conformity) is tested per project, with lab submission, test monitoring, failure remediation, and documentation handled by us. Reports are issued to the company that applies.
Phase 4: Pilot Production
Typical 2-3 weeks
50-100 unit pilot production run on the actual production line with production tooling, production workers, and full QC process. This is the final validation before mass production. Deliverables: pilot run QC report (yield rate, defect categories, corrective actions), production BOM locked with supplier lead times, finalized packaging with production-quality printing, final firmware build signed and checksum-verified.
Phase 5: Mass Production
Per purchase order
Full production runs per your purchase order volume, produced across the assembly cell groups. Standard QC includes 100% power-on and print test on the burn-in line, cosmetic inspection per the order checklist, and pre-shipment inspection with a detailed report. Ongoing engineering support continues through component changes and next-generation development.
Quality Assurance
Quality Control for Custom Builds
Customized products require customized quality control. Our QC process adapts to your specific configuration, ensuring that every custom component — from the colored enclosure panel to the branded firmware build — meets specification.
Custom QC Checklist
Every OEM variant has its own QC checklist, derived from the technical specification document. This includes all standard checks (motion system, heated bed, extrusion, safety) plus customization-specific checks: color match verification (Delta E less than or equal to 1.5 vs. approved sample), logo position measurement (within 0.5mm of specification), firmware build verification (checksum match, boot screen content, UI theme), packaging content verification (all branded items present per BOM), and certification label placement and legibility.
Sample Approval Process
Before each production run, we ship you a golden sample — a production-line unit that represents the exact specification for the entire run. You review and sign off on: enclosure color and finish, logo placement and quality, firmware branding (boot screen, UI, slicer profiles), packaging quality, print quality from the production-line burn-in test, and all accessories and documentation. Production does not begin until you approve the golden sample in writing.
Certification Management
Global Certifications Under Your Brand
We manage the full certification lifecycle for your customized product. You receive certificates in your company name, valid for your specific product variant.
Credential Portfolio
On record today: CE (LVD) conformity — EN 62368-1, report on file — and RoHS (EU 2015/863) — report on file, both third-party verifiable by number. Not on record, and not claimed: US radio authorization, retail safety listing, and Korea/India/South Africa/UK-style conformity marks. Each is tested through an accredited lab when your destination market needs it.
Variant Certification
When a verified base platform is customized, the compliance file needs an assessment, not an assumption. We check which changes matter (enclosure color typically does not; power supply or wireless module changes do), run what is needed through the lab, and update the file before the first shipment — with the timeline quoted up front.
Documentation Package
The compliance file for your order: copies of the on-record reports, any new test reports from the project's lab run, the Declaration of Conformity with your company details, labeling artwork files, and user manual safety sections in the required languages. Everything is maintained with the product lifecycle — no version left behind.
