## Story
At Accelerate3D, we’re building the future of on-demand manufacturing via high-speed 3D printing. With our patented technology, going from prototype to production is easy—for companies big and small. Limited economies of scale, expensive minimum order sizes, long lead times, and high upfront costs create a valley of death that kills countless products and companies every year. We’re creating a bridge that will help companies of all sizes move from prototype to initial production like never before.We design, build, and use our own patented 3D printing machines in-house; and our revolutionary technology enables us to make exciting new products faster and cheaper than ever before. But that’s not all—we’re able to print large-size parts that are too big for the vast majority of printers available today, giving us a fast-track to market domination.The 3D printing industry is growing at an explosive rate (projected at $120B+ by 2025), and our technology is positioning us for equally explosive growth. Initially, we’re targeting producers of delivery drones, security robots, and robots used in warehouses and construction—whose large-size parts, low production numbers, and high unit value are ideal for our technological edge.Techstars is one of the premier startup accelerators in the world, and they chose us! Less than 500 startups per year make it into this exclusive program, and only applicants with extremely high potential for global access are selected.We’re based in Austin, Texas and are firm believers in the need for more American manufacturing. For far too long we have sent the jobs of actually building real things overseas, and that needs to change. The best way this will happen is through the use of automation and advanced manufacturing. Smaller, local Microfactories (like those we plan to build!) will be a cornerstone of the future of manufacturing and will help bring America back to the forefront.Hardware is hard! The bigger the product, the more true this becomes. The next generations of drones and robots are poised to revolutionize almost every aspect of our lives in one way or another, but the limitations of traditional manufacturing stands in the way of far too many of the amazing companies building these future technologies. Here’s a great example of what one of our pilot customers was able to do:Our model enables businesses to produce durable large-size parts in shorter times and for less money than ever before. This will be a total game changer for how things get built here in America—pouring gasoline on already fast-growing industries (like drones and robots).Right now, our go-to-market conditions are ideal. We’re positioned at the center of multiple moats of opportunity, and demand has never been higher. Combine this with our clear differentiators and we expect to hit the ground running—with revenues exceeding $20M by 2026. These projections cannot be guaranteed.We plan to aggressively expand our growth by establishing micro-factories nationwide. This would mean no more high shipping cost for larger size parts going to distant customers—increasing our cost effectiveness even further. Our pilot factory will be in Austin, Texas, and will be fueled with the funds raised via this campaign. Assuming we raise $1M and we are able to get our pilot Microfactory setup, build our MVP and first service ready machine by Q3 '21, and have a total of 5 machines running at 85% capacity by Q3 '22 we anticipate generating $375k in revenue in the next 12 months.Our printing speeds are cutting edge, meaning parts are in our customers’ hands faster and they pay for fewer run-time hours. Higher speed also makes low-run manufacturing of final-use parts a possibility. This enables 3D printing to act as a manufacturing bridge—covering the gap between high-cost custom manufacturing and low-cost high volume manufacturing.One question we get a lot is “why wouldn’t your customers just buy their own machines and produce in-house?” Not only are commercially available large size 3D printers expensive, but they take skill and time to run. Our end-to-end solution creates a faster, more convenient, and more affordable option.By investing now, you gain a stake in our cutting-edge technology ahead of our inaugural micro-factory. Our path to scale is clear, and we want you along for the ride!Disclaimer: Future location cannot be guaranteed

## FAQ
1. **Has the patent been granted? Applied for? Are you selling 3D printers or just items made with them? Who manufactures your 3D printers? Do these printers handle other materials besides plastic? Thanks.**
   - Hi Grant, Yes the patent has been fully issued. Happened on Star Wars day which was fun!! No, we don't sell our machines and don't plan to anytime soon. We are building our own new high speed machines, and then we will be using them in-house in our own local microfactories to print parts/components for customers. So we will be building them in-house for the near term since we will be constantly improving our designs. But we have already talked with the same company that did contract manufactu...
2. **Would this be industrial focused only or would you generate 3D printers that might be used in residential and/or commercial real estate?**
   - Hi Bret, Our technology is only intended to be used for printing high strength plastics right now. I assume by real estate you are talking about printing buildings? That isn't something we see as being a good use case for our machines. But printing components for HVAC and other systems in those building is definitely a possibility.
3. **How do you compare to R3 Printing, a 3d printing company thats been fund raising for a while?**
   - Hi Simpson, That's a great question. Short answer is we are much bigger, faster, and we will use higher strength plastics. We are also focused only on providing on-demand production of larger size end use parts for our customers, as opposed to trying to sell machines. Our focus is also only on the industrial side. Specifically on meeting the needs of initial production runs or for on-demand printing of spare parts.
4. **Any thoughts on 3D printing with stronger materials than CF Nylon, CF PP etc as part of your growth and market expansion?**
   - Hi Kirtson, Great question. Absolutely! Those are just the ones we will be focusing on first with our "low temp" machines. We fully intend to get into the higher temp materials like CF PEKK, CF PEEK, PSU, and Ultem once we have dialed in our hardware on the easy materials first. That said we do think CF Nylon will probably end up being our bread and butter material since it has an amazing combination of performance, printability, use cases, and reasonable material costs.
5. **Hi Riley, Is there anyway I can talk to you? Future investor with some great ideas that will help the company expand tremendously. Thank you.**
   - Hi Grant. Sure! Feel free to reach out on LinkedIn.

## Q&A
- Q: Would this be industrial focused only or would you generate 3D printers that might be used in residential and/or commercial real estate?

So we will be building them in-house for the near term since we will be constantly improving our designs. But we have already talked with the same company that did contract manufacturing building 3D Systems printers about building some of our machines down the road. Our whole focus is on plastics. That said we are primarily focused printing the high strength fiber reinforced engineering grade plastics. CF Nylon, CF PP, and CF PC just to name a few. With the top tier super strong ones coming in future machines like CF PEKK and PSU. Some of these materials are already in the same strength to weight range as Aluminum, and we have even seen some newer ones claiming to be comparable to steel. Hope that answers your questions. :)
- Q: Hi Riley. How is the commercialization of your technology going? I know that you were/are working on a new generation of printer and had some work done by some interns to build out a software architecture for allowing a web of machines to work together. What is the latest on where you are at and what is the next milestone you are working towards? Thanks
  - A: Hi Todd. Right now we are working a slightly smaller version of our machines. We realized that all but one of the parts we have done on our Mk2 prototype would fit on a machine half the size so that's what we are building next. They will be 1/4th a cubic meter in volume and should cost about 1/4th to 1/3rd the cost of another Mk2 machine. This way we can scale up our capacity with less capital expenses.
- Q: Hi Riley, Is there any way you can speak on a more technical level about the specifications of your printer? From most of the videos it looks like a CoreXY printer, but just wanted to get some more detail on decisions you made to optimize the printer for the business model. Please don't be afraid to get technical in your description, I'm sure you have plenty of 3D printing enthusiasts like myself with eyes on your company. Thanks, and best of luck!
  - A: Hi Andrew, More than happy to go technical. :) I did do that a bit of that in the first FAQ video update here: https://wefunder.com/updates/145968-quick-faq-video but can always talk more one the tech. It is a bit long to type out but I'll do another video going deeper on the new design today after our live Q&A Webinar.
- Q: I know you're not yet fully operational, but are you still doing some production work and are you willing to do some small runs and/or a prototype for a product I've developed?
  - A: Hi Michael, We can definitely take a look and see if our tech demonstrator can handle the job. You can reach out directly at riley@accelerate3d.com and we can see if makes sense right now given our current capabilities.
- Q: Any thoughts on 3D printing with stronger materials than CF Nylon, CF PP etc as part of your growth and market expansion?

- Q: Is it a Qualified Small Business stock?
  - A: The investment is through a SAFE note.
- Q: How big can this company get? What is your capacity and how fast can you add capacity to become a multi billion dollar company??
  - A: Hi Simpson, Given the size of the markets we can serve and the rapid pace of industry adoption of 3D printing we think we can absolutely become a multi-billion dollar company. Especially given our strong potential to carve out and defend a huge (pun intended) market share in the large size component 3D printing space. Just our beachhead market of robots alone is projected to be a $145 billion industry by 2026. Not to mention other massive ones like oil & gas, agriculture, automotive, aerospace, electronics enclosures, and even the entertainment industry with things like props and sets. As far as speed to get there that all comes down to sales and how fast we can add machines. Most of our estimates are pretty conservative so far just because we prefer to under promise over deliver when it come to projections. But based on our estimates of how much each machine should be able to generate in revenue, if we added just 1 or 2 new 3D printers per week on average to our fleet that would put us in the billion dollar valuation range in 10 years on the slow side (1 per week) or 5 years on the faster side (2 per week). I think we should definitely be able to build them that fast once we get our process down. This will all just come down to how good we can get our sales and operations dialed in to generate enough demand to fill the added capacity of new machines at that pace.
