FREMONT, CA, July 7, 2026 – Velo3D is adding a 288,747-square-foot manufacturing facility in Livermore, California, to increase production capacity for metal additive manufacturing systems and production-scale parts.
The new facility is expected to become operational later this year and will serve as Velo3D’s primary production and manufacturing center. The company’s Fremont headquarters will remain its hub for R&D, applications engineering, process development, customer collaboration, prototyping and qualification work.
The new Livermore campus includes:
- ~289,000 square feet, equal to five football fields
- 270,000 square feet of production space with 36 -foot clear heights, or nearly 10 million cubic feet of manufacturing volume
- Capacity for more than 40 large-format metal systems at launch, with infrastructure to scale beyond 100
“This expansion is a reflection of the increasing demand we are seeing from customers who want to move beyond prototyping and qualification into production,” said Arun Jeldi, chief executive officer of Velo3D. “Our customers are looking for more than technology. They are looking for a trusted partner that can help them qualify applications, scale production, strengthen supply chains, and accelerate innovation. Fremont will continue serving as our center for engineering, process development, and qualification, while Livermore becomes a cornerstone of our production strategy. Together, these facilities create a powerful manufacturing ecosystem that helps customers move from concept to production faster while leveraging the technology, expertise, and solutions that make Velo3D unique.”
“We believe additive manufacturing should be accessible, scalable, and production-ready,” said Michelle Sidwell, chief revenue officer of Velo3D. “Customers are increasingly seeking flexible ways to adopt additive manufacturing without the burden of significant upfront investment or manufacturing risk. Through our technology, Rapid Production Solutions, engineering expertise, and distributed manufacturing network, we help customers move confidently from qualification into production while improving supply chain resilience and accelerating time to market.”
Livermore Mayor John Marchand added, “Livermore is proud to welcome Velo3D, an industry leader in advanced additive manufacturing and precision engineering, as it calls our city home to its primary production facility. The facility will manufacture essential components that are shaping the future of aerospace production. This investment reinforces what companies across advanced industries already know: Livermore is where Bay Area innovation gets built. As an established and growing hub for advanced industry, Livermore offers the talent, infrastructure, space, and civic support companies need to move from vision to production. We are committed to supporting companies to build, scale, and thrive while advancing industries vital to our region and our nation. We are excited to welcome Velo3D to Livermore and look forward to the future they will build here.”
“Velo3D is exactly the kind of company we want deeply rooted in Livermore’s economy. Their leadership in additive manufacturing and precision engineering fits naturally within Livermore’s advanced industry ecosystem, where proximity to key suppliers, partners, and talent creates real advantages for companies ready to scale,” said Brandon Cardwell, Innovation & Economic Development Director for the City of Livermore. “Just as important, their work reflects the spirit of innovation, problem-solving, and hands-on execution that has long defined our city. We are proud to partner with Velo3D as they add to the momentum shaping Livermore’s next chapter of advanced industry,” added Cardwell.
Velo3D said the Livermore campus will support domestic manufacturing capacity for aerospace, defense and energy customers. Combined with the Fremont headquarters, the company said the two-campus setup will include 125 machines.
