Solidcon

What Solidcon does

Solidcon, s.r.o. is a Brno-based engineering and precision manufacturing services company founded in 2005 as a subsidiary of SolidVision, s.r.o., a Czech CAD/CAM/PDM software distributor. The company provides custom machine design, 5-axis CNC machining (HERMLE C20/C250), CNC turning (DMG, Pinacho), CMM quality measurement (Zeiss Contura), grinding, and composite 3D printing (Markforged Mark Two) under a single contract manufacturer model. Operations are conducted at a single production facility in Brno, Hviezdoslavova 1188/5, with a headcount of approximately 11–20 staff including 5 designers, CNC machinists, a CMM specialist, sales consultants, and project managers.

The company's revenue model is project-based professional services and one-off manufacturing contracts, with no public pricing and no recurring subscription revenue. Customers submit enquiries through the company website covering four categories: design, manufacture, expert consultation, and other cooperation. Customer concentration spans automotive, aerospace, healthcare, optical, electrical/electronics, railway, and educational verticals — with named enterprise references including ABB (switchboard adjusting devices), an international railway-door-drive company from Modřice, an Opava automotive company (car pedal measuring devices), and Czech technical schools purchasing compact CNC training machines. Distribution is entirely direct via enquiry forms and dedicated sales/technical consultants; no channel partners, resellers, or marketplace listings exist.

The business draws capability inheritance and software integration from parent company SolidVision, supporting a tightly integrated design-to-delivery workflow (SOLIDWORKS CAD → SolidCAM programming → 5-axis CNC manufacture → CMM verification → optional 3D-printed fixturing). Operating geographies are concentrated in the Czech Republic with selected cross-border Central European customers, supported by a trilingual website (Czech, English, German). Founded in 2005 with production activity since 2007 and consolidated into its own facility in 2015, Solidcon is a small, privately-held precision engineering services firm with no disclosed revenue and no external funding rounds.

• TOS Varnsdorf: Czech manufacturer of heavy machine tools and machining centers headquartered in Varnsdorf. Comparable as a Czech-based precision machine builder serving European industrial customers with similar manufacturing service orientation.
• Kovosvit MAS: Czech CNC machine tool manufacturer based in Sezimovo Ústí, producing turning and milling centers. Directly comparable as a Central European precision machine tool builder with similar customer overlap in Czech and Central European industrial markets.
• Stratasys Direct Manufacturing: Industrial 3D printing and additive manufacturing service bureau (part of Stratasys). Comparable on the additive manufacturing portion of Solidcon's business, particularly for engineering-grade composite materials and prototyping.
• Šmeral Brno: Czech heavy machinery and special-purpose machine manufacturer based in Brno. Directly comparable given shared Brno industrial base, similar special-purpose machine design heritage, and overlap in automotive and rail customers.

Broad incumbents

• Xometry: Global on-demand manufacturing marketplace connecting buyers to CNC machining, sheet metal, and 3D printing suppliers. Comparable as a competing platform-based precision manufacturing services model, particularly relevant for the same SME customer base.
• Protolabs: Global on-demand digital manufacturing service provider offering CNC machining, 3D printing, and injection molding. Comparable as a much larger, multi-technology precision manufacturing services competitor with online quoting — relevant to assess how Solidcon's project-based model scales against automated competitors.

Regional players

• Brano Hradec nad Moravicí: Czech manufacturer of metal components, gas springs, and precision assemblies. Comparable as a Czech precision metal manufacturing company serving automotive and industrial customers, providing a relevant regional benchmark for the same customer segments.
