AMx Upsell The AMx eight-week program launched in 2023—offered for free to expose adults to advanced manufacturing careers—can be converted into paid corporate training and end-to-end AM adoption engagements, creating a clear path to monetize workforce development and 3D printing initiatives for client organizations.

Grant-Driven Growth Recent grant financing and a prior grant-driven project to develop a 3D printing materials database demonstrate capability in managing funded projects. Use this to attract clients seeking grant support, offering grant-readiness, project management, and compliance services alongside consulting.

Academic Partnerships Past collaboration with Quad Cities Manufacturing Laboratory to evaluate TRACE indicates openness to academic and lab partnerships. This can be expanded into joint pilots, software evaluations, and R&D collaborations with universities and industry labs to accelerate client implementations.

End-to-End AM Enablement 3Degrees positions as a full-stack advisor for investing in advanced manufacturing technologies, including software evaluation and pilot programs. This enables pitches for holistic AM adoption projects—from assessment and vendor selection to pilot deployment and workforce training.

Partner Channel Growth With a lean team of 2-10 employees, growth can be driven through partner networks, channel sales, or subcontracting with larger firms and software providers, enabling expansion to larger manufacturing clients without a proportional increase in headcount.
