COMPANY CULTURE
Team 3DEO
From hiring its first 2 employees to taking off as one of the highest volume 3D printing companies in the world, 3DEO has continued to invest in its company culture through diversity and inclusion initiatives, team events and outings, and community engagement. 3DEO is an American manufacturing company with its primary factory based in Torrance, CA.
Leadership
Matt began his career as an applications engineer for Swagelok, where he was tasked with a combination of technical sales leadership and internal infrastructure development to support a new line of business for the organization. He established a highly successful custom solutions department within the industry’s leading gas and fluid systems manufacturer. Matt later pursued a PhD in the field of advanced manufacturing technologies, including additive manufacturing. During the course of his doctoral studies, Matt co-invented and designed numerous metal additive manufacturing binder jetting processes. He worked hand-in-hand with various Fortune 500 companies to help develop high-impact 3D printing solutions using the latest technologies. This doctoral work reinforced his suspicion that the majority of industries were not able to transition metal 3DP to end-use applications. With this unique insight, 3DEO was established in an effort to empower our industrial partners through opportunistic technology transitions.
Payman is an experienced electromechanical engineer with 15 years of experience developing robotic and additive technologies. Payman earned his PhD from the University of Southern California, where he developed several innovative metal additive solutions, including binder jetting. He has deep expertise in slicing software, mechatronics, and materials development for powder metal processes. Payman has used his unique skill sets to successfully develop and launch a commercial polymer-based 3D printer abroad. The Manufacturing Cloud was born out of Payman’s primary motivation to unlock human creative potential through democratized access to advanced manufacturing technologies.
