Printed Solid Rebrands to Prusa USA, Expanding US 3D Printer and Filament Production
Key points
- Printed Solid is now Prusa USA, Inc.
- Josef Prusa remains CEO of both entities.
- Delaware facility produces Prusa 3D printers and filament.
- The move aims to support the US market and mitigate supply chain issues.
Rebranding and Operational Continuity
Printed Solid, the Delaware-based filament manufacturer acquired by Czech Prusa Research in 2022, has officially rebranded as Prusa USA, Inc. This name change is largely administrative, with day-to-day operations remaining consistent. Josef Prusa will continue as CEO for both Prusa Research and Prusa USA.
Expanding US Production Capabilities
Prusa Research now identifies as a "European-American" company, highlighting its US production capabilities. The 100,000-square-foot Delaware factory includes a duplicate print farm for manufacturing 3D printers and filament. While some components are still sourced from Prague, this US production helps address supply chain issues for American customers.
Strategic Market Focus
The expansion into the US market is a strategic move to be closer to customers, as the US is considered a significant market. The Delaware facility manufactures Original Prusa MK4S and Prusa CORE One+ 3D printers, along with Prusament and Jessie line PLA and PETG filaments. This facility also serves as the American fulfillment center for Prusa products.
Industry Context and Advocacy
This rebranding occurs amidst legislative efforts in the US to regulate 3D printing, including proposals for "blocking technology" on printers to prevent firearm manufacturing. Prusa Research maintains a stance in favor of Open Source principles and the right to repair, and its products meet security requirements for US military and government agencies.
