OGDEN, Utah–Oct. 22, 2015–WhiteClouds, an industry leading 3D-printing services company, today announced its expansion into a new 60,000 square foot facility and the installation of 14 additional full-color 3D printers from 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD) into their production line. WhiteClouds now has a fleet of 24 full-color printers from 3D Systems, including ProJet 660Pros, ProJet 4500s and a ProJet 860Pro. This expansion more than doubles the company’s full-color printing capacity and makes WhiteClouds the largest full-color 3D print services provider in world.

“Our new facility is designed for world-class manufacturing,” said Jerry Ropelato, WhiteClouds CEO. “Its location is very strategic and our layout is conducive to lean manufacturing principles and high-quality production.”

“WhiteClouds’ 3D print services expansion and expertise in full-color printing allows them to deliver exceptional service and products to their customers looking to bring their ideas to reality in full color,” said Charlie Grace, Chief Revenue Officer, Professional Products, 3D Systems. “We’re thrilled that they have selected our ColorJet printing technology to expand their full-color production services and look forward to their continued growth.”

Going forward, WhiteClouds will focus on developing business-to-business sales and strategic partnerships. The company will continue to expand its focus on four key industries: architecture, medical, prototyping and entertainment. In addition to its full-color services, the company also provides services for prototyping and end-use parts in a variety of materials.

To support its growth and expanded production capabilities, WhiteClouds hired a new COO, Joey Skinner, to oversee production and develop processes that make the company as efficient as possible. “A major part of our offering is the capacity to deliver,” said Skinner. “We are the largest full-color 3D print services provider in the world. With this new building, we have the capacity to hold that prestigious title and to continue to grow that capacity in the future.”

Braden Ellis, CRO, also joined the team to manage partnerships and strategic alliances to create future growth and revenues. “Our goal is to be the hub for companies looking to expand their offerings through 3D printing,” said Ellis. “Nearly every industry can benefit from this technology and we are here to make that possible in a way that is cost effective and easy to implement.”

WhiteClouds is hosting an open house on Oct. 27 for businesses, media, government officials and the general public. At the open house, there will be 3D printing demonstrations and refreshments. “We’re excited about what we’ve built in Utah in nearly three years and where we are going.
