Industrial Additive Manufacturing And 3D Printing
Start With The Problem.
Pick The Right Process.
Build Better Parts.
Engineering-led polymer 3D printing, from first prototype to repeat production.
SLS, SLA & MEX
Engineering-Led
Prototype To Production
Lucent Additive helps engineering, product, and manufacturing teams turn ideas, drawings, and production problems into parts that work. We run three industrial polymer 3D printing processes under one roof, so we can choose the right one for your part instead of forcing every job onto one machine.
Whether you need a single prototype, a fixture for the line, a hard-to-source replacement, or a recurring production order, we bring design support, process selection, finishing, inspection, and repeat manufacturing together in one place.
Three Processes. One Partner.
The Right Process For Your Part
Not sure which process fits? That’s our job.
SLS/PBF
Tough engineering-polymer parts and complex shapes with no support structures. A strong fit for functional parts and production batches.
SLA/VPP
Fine features, smooth surfaces, and a broad resin portfolio for detailed prototypes, tooling, and specialized parts.
MEX
Fast iteration, reinforced and high-temperature materials, and large parts for fixtures, tooling, and production aids.
Industries We Serve
Built Around Your Application
Every industry brings its own requirements, constraints, and risks. Here’s where we’re doing some of our most important work right now.
Airframe hardware, payload integration, rugged enclosures, tooling, and sustainment parts for defense and UAS programs that need to move fast.
Jigs, fixtures, end-of-arm tooling, machine components, and replacement parts that keep production moving.
Laboratory equipment, fluidics, custom fixtures, and experimental apparatus, backed by our roots as a Labconco company.

How It Works
From First Question To Repeat Production
01
Tell us what you need
Send a CAD file, a drawing, a sample, or just a description of the problem.
02
We review the application
Our engineers look at how the part will be used, what it has to withstand, and what it needs to cost.
03
We recommend a path
You’ll get a clear recommendation on process, material, and finishing, with honest tradeoffs.
04
We build and keep you posted
From first article to recurring orders, we inspect, document, and keep production on schedule.
Engineering First
Why Teams Work With Lucent
The best process is the one that works for your part, not the one that’s most convenient for us. We look at the whole application before recommending anything.
And if a small design change could save you money or make a better part, we’ll tell you before production starts.
What You Can Count On
- Application and manufacturability reviews before you commit.
- Design for additive manufacturing and part consolidation.
- Process and material selection across SLS, SLA, and MEX.
- Finishing, inspection, and documentation matched to your application.
- Repeatable production for recurring orders.
Backed By More Than A Century Of Manufacturing
A Labconco Company
We grew up on a real production floor.
Labconco has been building laboratory equipment since 1925. Lucent Additive started as its in-house additive team, putting 3D printed parts to work in real production. Now we bring that same discipline to customers in every industry we serve.
