Kemperle Industries

What Kemperle Industries does

Kemperle Industries is a Brooklyn, NYC-based precision fabrication studio that delivers an integrated scan-to-CAD-to-fabrication service offering for fit-critical, low-volume custom work. The company's eight core services span 3D scanning (structured light and laser, with sub-millimeter accuracy down to 0.050 mm), reverse engineering and parametric CAD reconstruction, CNC routing (up to 48 × 48 × 6.25 inches in metals, plastics, and wood), 3D printing across FDM, SLA, SLS, DMLS, PolyJet, and MJF modalities, silicone molding and resin casting, scan-based metrology and first-article inspection, design and engineering, and specialized low-volume manufacturing. All capabilities operate from a single Brooklyn facility, allowing the firm to control the full tolerance chain from digital capture through finished part.

The firm serves a diversified set of verticals including aftermarket automotive (Ferrari, Porsche, Packard restoration), architecture and ornamentation (Guggenheim New York and Abu Dhabi models, Waldorf Astoria, James Earl Jones Theatre ornamental plaster), sculpture and public art (Michael Heizer, William Nelson Studio, Studio EIS, New York Art Foundry), entertainment (Barcade), and heritage restoration. Its value proposition rests on eliminating vendor handoffs, preserving tolerance continuity, and offering a single accountable team across disciplines—differentiated against fragmented specialist shops.

The business model is project-based professional services: each engagement is quoted individually against scope, complexity, materials, and manufacturing method, with no minimum order requirements. Revenue is generated through custom fabrication and metrology/inspection engagements, billed under pay-as-you-go terms. The go-to-market is sales-led with bottom-of-funnel conversion through website quote requests and phone inquiries, supported by content marketing, SEO, and referral dynamics in niche creative and automotive communities. Primary geographic focus is the East Coast (Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast), with nationwide service via overnight-courier parts shipping and on-site scanning visits. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding and operates with a 1–10 person team.

Broad incumbents

• Xometry: On-demand manufacturing marketplace for CNC, 3D printing, sheet metal, and injection molding. Comparable because it competes for the same custom fabrication demand via instant quoting and a distributed partner network.
• Hubs (formerly 3D Hubs): Global on-demand manufacturing platform connecting customers with CNC and 3D printing service bureaus. Competes with Kemperle for low-volume custom manufacturing work via its automated marketplace and distributed partner model.
• Protolabs: Digital manufacturing platform offering CNC, 3D printing, sheet metal, and injection molding on-demand. Comparable on the fabrication and on-demand production axis but operates at vastly larger scale and via automated quoting rather than bespoke studio projects.
• 3D Systems: Major 3D printing hardware and on-demand parts services company. Overlaps with Kemperle's 3D printing service bureau offering across SLA, SLS, DMLS, and PolyJet, but at industrial scale and with proprietary materials.
• Stratasys: Industrial 3D printing systems and services company with FDM and PolyJet technology that overlaps directly with Kemperle's in-house printing modalities. Comparable on production service offerings but at much larger scale.
• Creaform: Provider of portable 3D scanners and metrology solutions with engineering services. Comparable in scanning technology stack and target applications (automotive, aerospace, heritage), though Creaform leans more on hardware sales with services as an add-on.
• FARO Technologies: Public company manufacturing structured-light and laser 3D measurement hardware with adjacent services and software. Comparable because it anchors the same scanning-metrology ecosystem Kemperle operates in, though FARO is primarily an OEM/supplier rather than a custom service bureau.

Emerging players

• Materialise: Belgian 3D printing and engineering services company with industrial and medical focus. Comparable as a service bureau offering scan-to-print and certified manufacturing, though its medical vertical and European base differentiate it from Kemperle's NYC cultural/automotive mix.

Direct peers

• Direct Dimensions: York, PA-based 3D scanning, reverse engineering, and metrology service bureau serving automotive, aerospace, heritage, and industrial customers. Most direct US analog to Kemperle's integrated scan-to-fabrication model with comparable accuracy and project-based delivery.
• Exact Metrology: US 3D scanning and metrology services firm offering portable laser scanning, CT scanning, and inspection across automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing. Comparable mid-market service bureau with similar accuracy-grade equipment and project-based engagement model.
