What Incodema3D does

Incodema3D is a U.S.-based contract manufacturer specializing in metal additive manufacturing, using Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) on a large fleet of EOS industrial 3D printing systems located inside a 60,000+ square-foot facility in Freeville, New York. The company delivers vertically integrated production services that pair metal LPBF printing with in-house CNC machining, quality control and metrology, and end-to-end program management, allowing it to ship finished, qualified assemblies rather than raw printed parts. Its core end markets are defense and aerospace, with adjacent exposure to space, energy, and industrial customers requiring mission-critical components that meet stringent specifications.

Commercially, Incodema3D operates a direct enterprise field-sales model with quote-based, B2B contract manufacturing pricing and no disclosed reseller or distribution channels. The company holds an unusually dense set of compliance credentials for its size, including AS9100D / ISO 9001:2015, ITAR registration, NIST-800-171 / DFARS cybersecurity compliance, a Federal Firearms License, and the EOS-AMQ quality certification, positioning it as a qualified supplier for prime contractors and Tier 1 OEMs. It pairs this regulatory stack with a deep production-partner ecosystem (EOS, Solukon, Elementum3D, 6K Additive, Haas Automation, Mazak) and a proprietary alloy portfolio branded as IncodaLLOY, differentiated for additive processes.

In March 2026, AFM Capital Partners acquired a majority ownership stake in Incodema3D Holdings, with debt financing from JPMorgan Chase and Gladstone Capital and advisory from Cantor Fitzgerald; founder and CEO Sean Whittaker plus the senior leadership team retained meaningful equity and continue to operate the company. Under PE ownership, the company has publicly committed to roughly tripling its EOS printer fleet to 50+ systems, opening a second manufacturing facility, adding large-format additive technologies, and significantly increasing headcount by 2030.
