What MadeHere does

MadeHere is a Yokohama-based additive manufacturing company originally incorporated in February 2016 in Yamanashi Prefecture under the name 3D Printing Corporation, which rebranded in September 2025. The company's core offering is on-demand reverse engineering and additive manufacturing of obsolete industrial and defense parts — an MRO-focused application of industrial 3D printing rather than a generic printing service — together with selective sales of industrial 3D printers to enterprise customers.

The technical stack combines 3D scanning, elemental/material analysis, topology optimization, and computer-aided engineering (CAE) to reproduce legacy parts, supported by five granted patents and certified to ISO 9001, 14001, and 27001. In 2024 the company launched the Taiga platform, a digital library that stores reverse-engineered part files and integrates with the U.S. Department of Defense's DMX digital supply chain system (validated during Trident Warrior 2025). The company also holds DFARS and 10 USC §4872 compliance, which permit direct U.S. military procurement.

MadeHere earns revenue through project-based MRO parts reproduction contracts (with disclosed cycle-time outcomes such as a 97% lead-time reduction on an ENEOS nozzle), sales of industrial 3D printers and related consumables, and — increasingly — a recurring component via the Taiga digital library. The customer base spans Japanese industrial operators (ENEOS, Takenaka, Mitsubishi Materials, Asahi Kasei, Anest Iwata, Nippon Sanso, ANA Trading), aerospace (JAXA), and a growing defense book including the U.S. Army/Navy/Air Force/Marine Corps via the Marine Depot Maintenance Command PPP, the Japan Defense Equipment Agency (ATLA), Oshkosh Defense, and Kadena Air Base.

Revenue model

1. Obsolescent Parts Manufacturing Services: Reverse engineering and on-demand manufacturing of discontinued, obsolete, or hard-to-source parts for defense, energy, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and maritime plant sectors. Revenue generated per project/job, with digital library management enabling repeat orders for consumables and critical spares. Manufacturing from single unit to small batches.
2. 3D Printer Equipment and Related Hardware Sales: Sale of 3D printers, filament manufacturing equipment, and surface treatment equipment. Original business line inherited from former company 3D Printing Corporation. Includes hardware sales and related consumables.
3. Defense Equipment Agency Manufacturing Services: Government defense contract for additive manufacturing services, including JGSDF vehicle parts delivered to the Defense Equipment Agency, positioning the company within official government procurement frameworks.
4. Custom Consumables Manufacturing: On-demand manufacturing of custom consumables for maintenance operations, produced in required quantities at required times, reducing excess inventory risk.

Core offering

MadeHere provides on-demand reverse engineering and rapid manufacturing services for obsolete, discontinued, or hard-to-source industrial and defense parts, combining metal and resin additive manufacturing with CNC machining, injection molding, and casting at its Yokohama Tsurumi factory. The company also manufactures custom consumables for maintenance operations and sells 3D printers and related equipment through its legacy business line. All work is supported by proprietary digital platforms (Taiga and Digital Library) for production management and repeat-order workflows.

Product overview

MadeHere provides a comprehensive suite of obsolescence and digital manufacturing solutions centered on four core offerings: (1) 廃番部品迅速製造サービス (Obsolete Parts Rapid Manufacturing) for reverse engineering and on-demand manufacturing of discontinued parts; (2) デジタルマニュファクチャリング (Digital Manufacturing) using additive manufacturing technologies; (3) カスタム消耗品製造 (Custom Consumables Manufacturing); and (4) 米国装備品調達支援 (U.S. Equipment Procurement Support). The company operates across defense, energy/plant, and maritime sectors. Supporting capabilities include topology optimization, CAE analysis, DfAM (Design for Additive Manufacturing), and the proprietary Taiga digital manufacturing management platform. All manufacturing is conducted at the company's Yokohama Tsurumi factory with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 27001 certifications.

Direct peers

• Xometry: US-headquartered on-demand manufacturing marketplace aggregating CNC, 3D printing, sheet metal, and injection molding services. Comparable marketplace-style approach to digital manufacturing services, though Xometry operates as a platform with partner manufacturers rather than owning the production capacity itself.
• Protolabs: US-headquartered on-demand digital manufacturing service combining CNC, injection molding, sheet metal, and 3D printing. Closely comparable business model to MadeHere's multi-method one-stop service offering, with broader material coverage and significantly larger scale.
• Materialise: Belgium-headquartered global 3D printing service bureau offering industrial AM services across metals, polymers, and software (Magics). Directly comparable as a large-scale digital manufacturing service provider serving industrial and medical customers; differs by being much larger and more software-focused.

Emerging players

• Markforged: US-based industrial 3D printer OEM focused on metal and continuous-fiber printing, now part of Nano Dimension. Comparable as an industrial 3D printing hardware and digital manufacturing platform; differs by focusing primarily on printer sales rather than a service-bureau model.
• Sintavia: US-based additive manufacturer focused on aerospace and defense metal AM parts with NADCAP and AS9100 certifications. Directly comparable on defense-grade AM focus; differs by being US-domiciled and aerospace-heavy rather than Indo-Pacific and MRO-focused.
• Velo3D: US-based metal powder bed fusion 3D printer OEM and service provider focused on aerospace and defense. Comparable in defense AM focus and metal printing capability; differs by being a printer OEM first and service provider second.
• Sciaky: US-based provider of electron beam additive manufacturing (EBAM) systems and metal 3D printing services for aerospace, defense, and energy. Comparable on defense and aerospace metal AM services; differs by specializing in large-format EBAM versus MadeHere's broader multi-method approach.

Broad incumbents

• 3D Systems (Oqton + 3D Systems Services): US-based 3D printing hardware OEM with a global services organization offering industrial AM production. Comparable as an integrated 3D printer manufacturer and service provider, though with significantly broader portfolio spanning metals, polymers, dental, and healthcare.
• Stratasys Direct Manufacturing: Service bureau arm of Stratasys, one of the largest polymer 3D printing equipment OEMs. Comparable as an industrial 3D printing service provider, but Stratasys Direct operates as part of a much larger hardware OEM with broader material coverage and limited metal AM focus.

Regional players

• Citizen Machinery (industrial parts printing): Japan-based industrial equipment manufacturer that has invested in metal AM and digital manufacturing services domestically. Comparable as a Japan-resident industrial manufacturer with AM capability; differs by being a much larger established OEM rather than an MRO-focused digital manufacturing startup.
