Company mission

To transform the 3D printing industry with its patented DCM (Digital Composite Manufacturing) platform, enabling new material properties and components unattainable using other additive or traditional manufacturing processes.

Our take

While 3D printing is often used at home for creative and small-scale production, in recent years interest has grown in its larger scale manufacturing capabilities. Fortify is a 3D printing company which focuses on manufacturing parts with optimized structures for extremely specialized applications which need to take advantage of narrowly controlled thermal and magnetic properties.

Using a patented printing process that utilizes magnetics and digital light processing technology, Fortify is able to create precision components for use in a range of applications, from recyclable plastic containers, to electric vehicle prototyping. Its specialization in RF applications in particular allows it to stand out in an increasingly crowded field, with its component having at least a 10x higher resolution than its closest competitors.

This focus seems to have paid off, as at the end of 2022 Fortify attracted a large strategic investment from Lockheed Martin Ventures. This funding is being used to improve Fortify's printing process and boost development of its RF manufacturing capabilities in particular. As more manufacturers switch to the cost savings and increased capabilities of precision-made 3D printed parts, Fortify is in an excellent position to continue its growth.
