Velo3D, Inc. has announced the opening of a new advanced manufacturing facility in Livermore, California, marking a significant expansion of its production operations. The 288,747-square-foot site is designed to support large-format metal additive systems and increase manufacturing capacity. Livermore is about 6 miles east of Pleasanton.
The new Livermore Production Campus is expected to become operational later this year and will serve as Velo3D’s primary production and manufacturing center. The facility complements the company’s Fremont headquarters, which will remain the hub for research and development, applications engineering, process development, customer collaboration, prototyping, and qualification activities.
Together, the two facilities create a comprehensive manufacturing ecosystem that enables customers to move from concept and qualification through production with a single trusted partner. The Livermore campus includes approximately 270,000-square-feet of manufacturing space with more than 36-foot clear heights – nearly 10 million cubic feet of volume available. For a leading metal additive manufacturer, that vertical headroom is a strategic asset. It provides Velo3D the clearance to install large-format systems today and to scale to even taller, more ambitious builds as customer demand and technology evolves. The facility is designed to support the installation of more than 40 large-format additive manufacturing systems, with infrastructure to accommodate more than 100 systems over the next couple of years as customer demand continues to grow.
To put the scale in perspective, the new campus offers:
- ~289,000 square feet, roughly the size of five football fields
- 270,000 square feet of production space with 36 feet clear heights – nearly 10 million cubic feet of manufacturing volume
- Capacity for 40+ large format metal systems at launch, with infrastructure to scale beyond 100
The facility will also provide substantial capacity for machine manufacturing, in-house post-processing operations, and production-scale manufacturing of mission-critical components. These capabilities support Velo3D’s commitment to helping customers reduce barriers to adoption, accelerate qualification timelines, strengthen supply chains, and scale additive manufacturing into production environments.
The expansion further strengthens Velo3D’s integrated approach to additive manufacturing by combining industry-leading technology, Rapid Production Solutions (RPS), engineering expertise, and a growing distributed manufacturing network. This model enables customers to access production capacity, qualification support, and manufacturing expertise without requiring significant upfront capital investment.
