Our first production cells are on the market and shipping.Meet R3 Printer and R3 Printer Ultra:Both are built around the same philosophy:Automate more. Require less intervention. Give customers more control.We see a generational opportunity to modernize and reshore American production by bringing the $767B industrial machinery market back home:Creating jobs, rebuilding critical manufacturing capabilities, and supporting the people and communities that build it.This is where the R3 story gets much bigger.A customer can begin with one automated production cell.Over time, the R3 ecosystem can expand around it:R3 should not be viewed as a company that just sells individual machines.We’re building a modular, fully-integrated manufacturing ecosystem.Any R3 system can operate as an individual automated production cell.Next, multiple production cells can be connected through software and additional automation.Over time, we envision production environments where scheduling, material management, part handling, quality control, and machine orchestration happen automatically.The end state is what industry often calls lights-out production: manufacturing infrastructure capable of operating continuously and autonomously. Instead of an operator running an individual machine, they’re running an entire factory.We're building a factory where:Production schedules itself.Materials move automatically.Parts are loaded and unloaded robotically.Quality is monitored continuously.Production cells coordinate through software.Manufacturing continues around the clock without needing to supervise every repetitive step.That is the vision behind R3.The factory becomes the product.And we’re already executing on this vision.Revenue-generating, strategic customers, and expanding channels.R3 Printing is following in the footsteps of iconic companies like Apple and Amazon, which both turned products into trillion-dollar ecosystems.Siemens’ recent acquisition of Altair shows the high value strategic buyers are placing on companies advancing industrial automation. Other recent transactions include National Instruments’ acquisition by Emerson and ABB Robotics’ acquisition by SoftBank, underscoring the scale of outcomes being created across industrial technology.We built R3 to \"land and expand.\"By delivering massive value from the very first production cell a customer buys, we build deep customer trust, naturally unlocking lifelong revenue as clients choose to scale up with our software subscriptions, supplies, services and modular upgrades.Our land-and-expand strategy means each deployment creates compounding revenue streams that scale automatically as our footprint grows. By 2031, we project our revenue mix to shift to roughly 58% Products, 25% Services, and 17% Software.The underlying economics are simple: every new system we deploy widens our foundation, structurally increasing recurring revenue from existing customer relationships over time.R3 has already raised over $5 million across private capital, crowdfunding, and government funding.That capital helped build our core technology, secure a robust patent portfolio, and successfully bring our first products to market:This next phase is different. It’s about turning that proven foundation into scale. We’re building this next chapter so that our community can ride the wave of our growth alongside us.This round gives you the opportunity to join nearly 10,000 forward-thinking investors alongside the U.S. Air Force, OCEAN Capital, New York State, and Fordham University’s venture fund in backing the next generation of software-defined, modular manufacturing.Our team brings together an automation pioneer who ran mission-critical systems at Bridgewater Associates and Morgan Stanley, a hyper-growth strategist from Disney and Casper, and an engineering veteran who built life-saving autonomous robotics platforms at Activ Surgical and Ophthorobotics.R3’s leadership hails from elite academic institutions—Columbia, NYU, Northeastern, and Fordham—and some of the world’s most successful technology, robotics, and consumer brands.Manufacturing is coming home.For decades, America lost manufacturing capacity, capability, and independence.Today, that direction is changing.What we’re building is bigger than any one machine—or any one company.It’s about rebuilding the future of America.Help us build it.Join us.","location":"Los Angeles, CA","website":"https://r3printing.com/","total_amount_raised":0,"total_investors":0,"is_funded":false,"is_active":false,"quality_score":5,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/r3printing","https://r3printing.com/"]},"media":{"share_image_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/custom_card_photo/220285/xxl_R3_Printing_1791592722147.jpg","logo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/logo/220285/large_avatar.jpg","header_media_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/220285/standard_avatar.jpg","cover_photo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/custom_card_photo/220285/large_R3_Printing_1791592722147.jpg"},"links":{"company_url":"https://r3printing.com/"},"highlights":[],"quick_facts":[{"index":1,"claim_id":"claim-fact-1","value":"3 products on market; generating revenue, with $2.2M anticipated in 2027"},{"index":2,"claim_id":"claim-fact-2","value":"Backed by the U.S. Air Force, NY State, and top VCs like OCEAN Capital and Fordham Foundry"},{"index":3,"claim_id":"claim-fact-3","value":"Made in the USA; 100% committed to American manufacturing and keeping our products secure"},{"index":4,"claim_id":"claim-fact-4","value":"Top Deal campaign (source: Kingscrowd, Reg CF 2021), $5M+ committed by 10K investors to date"},{"index":5,"claim_id":"claim-fact-5","value":"15 granted patents and more pending"},{"index":6,"claim_id":"claim-fact-6","value":"2x faster, 3x more durable, 4x more capacity, and 8x lighter than traditional industrial machines"},{"index":7,"claim_id":"claim-fact-7","value":"World-class team from Columbia, NYU, Bridgewater, Casper, Disney, and Y Combinator Startup School"},{"index":8,"claim_id":"claim-fact-8","value":"Building automated, AI-ready industrial machines for a massive $767B market"}],"team":[{"id":6811491,"entity_id":"wefunder:company_role:6811491","user_entity_id":"wefunder:user:5198673","role":"founder","name":"Paul Sieradzki","title":"Co-Founder \u0026 CEO","bio":"Paul is an automation pioneer and patented inventor who built mission-critical systems for Morgan Stanley and Bridgewater Associates before co-running the manufacturing business that inspired R3.

Congratulations on shipping the R3 Printer and Ultra. Before I invest in this round, I have a few questions: 1. Revenue: What was your actual revenue in 2025 and so far in 2026? How much of the $2.2M projected for 2027 is already backed by signed orders? 2. Margins: What are your current gross margins on the R3 Printer and the Ultra? How much of today's revenue is recurring, from services, supplies, or software? 3. Valuation: How did you arrive at the $50M cap, given that it's roughly 23x 2027 projected revenue? What's the total of unconverted notes and SAFEs, including the 2021 note at the $8M cap? 4. Cash: How many months of runway do you have today, and how far will this round take you? 5. Track record: Many public 3D printing companies tried to move from selling machines to selling ecosystems and didn't succeed. I personally invested and lost on several of these bets. What makes your land-and-expand approach different? Thank you!
