Samylabs

What Samylabs does

Samylabs is a Spanish industrial-technology company that designs, manufactures, and commercializes metal 3D printers, software, and auxiliary equipment specifically for the laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process. Founded in 2016 and headquartered in Derio, Spain, the company operates within the industrial additive manufacturing sector and targets customers seeking turnkey LPBF production systems rather than standalone components.

Its core offering covers the full LPBF stack — printer hardware, control/processing software, and ancillary equipment required to operate a metal additive manufacturing cell. The company is private, employs 1-10 people, and is the sole confirmed source of operational information; firmographic descriptors (Spain-based, LPBF-focused, small team) are the only verified attributes.

The business model, go-to-market motion, pricing structure, distribution channels, customer segments, and revenue mechanics could not be determined from available data. The company's website (samylabs.com) is active and resolves but displayed only a loading/verification placeholder at the time of data collection, preventing extraction of product specifications, pricing, customer logos, partnership announcements, or commercial terms.
