FUGO Precision 3D Launches to Reverse Years-Long Industry Decline

FUGO Precision 3D said it will make its commercial debut at LMT Lab Day Chicago, demonstrating the Model A, which the company calls the world's first all-in-one centrifugal 3D printing system, during the Feb. 19–21 event in the Gold Coast Seminar Room at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Alexander Meseonznik, co-founder and CEO, framed the launch as a response to what he called a multiyear industry slide and invited attendees to “Hold the parts and decide for yourself.”

The company issued a Gardena, Calif. statement dated Feb. 16 that described the Model A as an integrated production system paired with clinically validated dental resins and Graphy's Shape Memory Aligner (SMA) materials, and set a production-shipping target of “Production units ship Q3 2026.” Meseonznik, introduced in the release as bringing three decades of business building experience, said plainly: “The additive manufacturing industry has been losing ground for years, and everyone knows why.”

FUGO’s public claims land against hard financial evidence from legacy hardware suppliers. Kenresearch reported that 3D Systems’ revenue fell from USD 538.0 million in 2022 to USD 488.1 million in 2023 and to USD 440.1 million in 2024, an 18% cumulative contraction over two years. Kenresearch also showed 3D Systems’ net loss widened from USD (122.7) million in 2022 to USD (362.7) million in 2023 before narrowing to USD (255.6) million in 2024, and gross margin deteriorated from about 40.2% in 2023 to 37.3% in 2024, a roughly 700 basis point disadvantage versus Proto Labs at 44.6% and Stratasys at 44.9%, Kenresearch said. The analyst note added that negative operating cash flow continued at about USD (44.9) million and that growth is accruing to players with pricing power, recurring revenue, and disciplined capital deployment.

Technical and regulatory barriers that FUGO says it aims to fix are documented in industry analysis. Aipprecision wrote on Oct. 17, 2025 that dimensional variability, anisotropic mechanical properties, and rough surface finishes continue to challenge part consistency across major technologies, and noted specific tolerances such as MJF at ±0.3% (±0.2 mm), SLS at ±0.3% (±0.3 mm), SLA at ±0.5% (±0.2 mm), and FDM at ±0.5% (±0.5 mm). Aipprecision also flagged difficult-to-control materials like PEEK and said certifications such as AS9100 and ISO 13485 require validated processes, traceability, and consistent outcomes that often demand secondary operations. The piece pointed out aerospace accounts for nearly 16% of additive manufacturing revenue and cited Relativity Space’s March 2023 3D-printed rocket milestone as an example of high-profile progress alongside persistent hurdles.

FUGO’s launch messaging emphasized hands-on proof over marketing rhetoric. Meseonznik listed recurring manufacturer complaints, “Too much labor. Too many machines. Inconsistent quality. Material lock-ins. Post-processing that was supposed to be automated a long time ago. These aren't mysteries. They're engineering problems, and we built FUGO to solve them.” He added, “We didn't build this technology to talk about it. We built it to show it.” The company provided a Gardena mailing address at 15603 Broadway Center St., Gardena, CA 90248 and an investor and media contact email at irit@fugo3d.com, and referenced social channels including LinkedIn, YouTube, and Instagram for follow-up.
