Tronix3D
US industrial 3D printing bureau founded 2017 in Pittsburgh, serving robotics, aerospace, medical and defense clients with MJF, FDM and SLA processes.
Tronix3D is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based contract additive manufacturing company founded in 2017 by Buck Helfferich and acquired in 2021 by co-owners Mike Vindler and Jason Economou. The company specializes in low-volume production parts and rapid prototyping using industrial-grade processes including HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) in standard and large-format variants, Cold Metal Fusion (CMF), mSLA resin printing, and the proprietary SAF ReLife™ recycled-powder process. Its capabilities extend to post-processing services such as vibratory surface smoothing, Cerakote and painting finishes, EMI/RFI shielding, vapor smoothing, and part assembly.
The company is headquartered at 6901 Lynn Way, Suite 301, Pittsburgh, PA 15208, and serves a broad industrial customer base that includes robotics companies (SKA Robotics, Gecko Robotics, Carnegie Robotics), aerospace and defense primes (Westinghouse, Siemens Energy, Curtiss-Wright, Astrobotic), automotive, energy, and medical device manufacturers. A designated drone parts production line makes Tronix3D a direct supplier to UAV developers.
Tronix3D positions itself around just-in-time manufacturing (JIT) and agile supply chain support—printing production-quality functional parts in days to eliminate long lead times and reduce obsolete-inventory risk. The company holds a CAGE Code (11V52), DUNS Number (134020246), and UEI (QYX7MTJQ1H11) and is certified as a Small Business Administration (SBA) Non-Traditional Defense Contractor.
