What CADmore Metal does
CADmore Metal, formerly ZVerse On-Demand Design, is a privately held digital manufacturing and metal additive manufacturing services company based in the United States (Greer, SC; Columbia, SC application center). The company operates two interlocking lines of business: (1) a CAD-as-a-Service design bureau providing 3D modeling, CAD file optimization, reverse engineering, and 3D scanning services to manufacturers, engineering firms, and product developers, and (2) Cold Metal Fusion (CMF), an additive manufacturing process combining selective laser sintering with metal powder metallurgy to produce fully dense metal components (up to 99.9% density) using polymer-bound metal feedstock. CADmore is the exclusive North American distributor of Headmade Material's patented CMF metal powders (Ti64, Inconel, 316L, 17-4PH, M2 Tool Steel) and operates North America's first CMF application center in Columbia, South Carolina, where green-state CMF parts are sintered and finished.
The underlying CMF technology uses a proprietary polymer binder system compatible with standard SLS hardware (notably the Sinterit Lisa X), enabling what the company claims as up to 90% lower part costs and 8x higher part output versus conventional methods, with full reusability of unprocessed feedstock. Parts are printed in a 'green state,' then debound and sintered to achieve final metal density — a workflow that enables complex geometries such as closed vane impellers, fuel injector components, and medical device parts that are prohibitively expensive or impossible via casting, machining, or laser powder bed fusion.
CADmore monetizes through project-based CAD design services, preferred-partner service agreements, CMF part production (green-state printing shipped in for sintering, or full turnkey), and metal powder sales. Distribution is partnership-first: white-labeled design pages embedded in Shapeways, Protolabs, CraftCloud, and GKN Additive direct unvetted leads into CADmore's pipeline. Direct sales cover equipment-plus-feedstock bundles via the Burton Precision/Sinterit Lisa X channel. The company holds an ASTM B348-conformant CMF capability and a Fast Company 'Innovation by Design' award (2020) for ZShield PPE developed with ZVerse. Listed enterprise logos — Toyota, Honeywell, NASA, SpaceX, Medtronic, Chevron, Microsoft, BASF, 3M, Abbott, US Army — are extensive and span aerospace, defense, energy, automotive, medical, and consumer goods, though headcount is reported at 1–10 employees, indicating these are predominantly historical client references from the design bureau business.

CADmore Metal competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Stratasys Direct Manufacturing: Service bureau arm of Stratasys offering 3D printing and additive manufacturing across polymer and metal. Larger, more established competitor with broader technology portfolio than CADmore's metal-focused CMF offering.
- EOS: Global leader in industrial 3D printing for metals and polymers with a large installed base of L-PBF and DMLS systems. Competes for the same aerospace, medical, and automotive metal AM customers as CADmore but at a much larger scale.
Direct peers
- Hubs (Protolabs Network): Global manufacturing platform offering on-demand 3D printing, CNC, and injection molding services. Operates an analogous white-label / marketplace model similar to CADmore's design services integration with its manufacturing partners.
- Xometry: AI-driven on-demand manufacturing marketplace connecting buyers with CNC, sheet metal, and 3D printing suppliers. Xometry is the largest publicly traded direct competitor to CADmore's digital manufacturing services model.
- Shapeways: Online 3D printing service bureau serving engineers and designers across aerospace, medical, and industrial markets. Shapeways is CADmore's flagship white-label partner with a nearly five-year relationship generating 15,000+ project submissions.
- Protolabs: Largest on-demand digital manufacturing service provider offering CNC, injection molding, sheet metal, and 3D printing services. Both Protolabs and CADmore target manufacturers needing fast-turn prototyping and production parts, and Protolabs is itself a white-label distribution partner of CADmore.
Emerging players
- Markforged: Metal and composite 3D printing company offering production systems targeting industrial manufacturers. Competes in the broader metal AM market with a different process technology (bound metal filament extrusion + sintering).
- Desktop Metal: Publicly traded metal additive manufacturing company offering bound metal deposition, binder jetting, and other metal AM systems. Competes in the metal 3D printing services and equipment space where CADmore positions its CMF technology.
- Velo3D: Metal additive manufacturing company specializing in L-PBF systems for aerospace and defense applications with complex geometries. Competes for similar titanium and Inconel part production opportunities but uses a different (laser-based) process.
Others
- Burton Precision: North American distributor for Sinterit SLS printers and CADmore's strategic partner enabling CMF printing on the Sinterit Lisa X. Comparable as the equipment/channel enabler feeding CADmore's CMF application center.
