Revenue model

1. LFAM Contract Manufacturing: CID manufactures custom large-format additive components for clients, producing full-size prototypes, end-use parts, and composite tooling. Projects are scoped and delivered on a per-engagement basis, bridging the gap between prototype and market-ready product through scalable, repeatable processes.
2. Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Consulting: Engineering consulting begins with each project's unique requirements. Using in-house prototyping and production facilities, CID develops and manufactures optimized products designed for performance, efficiency, and scalable production. Services include strategic consulting, additive manufacturing integration, DfAM review, and production planning.
3. Rapid Prototyping Services: CID offers rapid prototyping services for product development, enabling quick iterations and modifications. Projects span custom components for electric vehicles, medical device prototypes, and lightweight aerospace parts. Revenue is generated per project or prototype engagement.

Partnerships

Four partnerships are on record, tiered core, notable and minor.

• MFGcoreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ DistributorMFG is a manufacturing marketplace platform that connects CID with buyers across diverse industries including automotive, aerospace, consumer electronics, and medical devices. The partnership has been instrumental in expanding CID's client base and facilitating contract manufacturing, 3D printing, and rapid prototyping projects.
• Lil ZoomersnotableStrategic or Co-development PartnerCID collaborated with Lil Zoomers to produce a full-scale hypercar prototype using glass-fiber-reinforced PETG on a robotic LFAM system. The project transformed an idea and unfinished CAD file into a functional vehicle body within two weeks, demonstrating the integration of CID's manufacturing capabilities with Lil Zoomers' automotive design.
• CaracolcoreTechnology or IntegrationCID leverages Caracol's Heron AM LFAM platform, including the Heron 300 equipped with HF (High Flow) extruder, to manufacture aerospace-grade tooling and composite parts. Caracol has qualified its production process with AS/EN 9100 certification, and CID uses this platform for parts up to 3 meters in length with CNC post-processing.
• Lil ZoomersminorOthersLil Zoomers is referenced as a client in the automotive case study section of the CID website. The project involved rapid prototype development for a hypercar using LFAM technology.
