Built for Production at Scale
Forge 1 was built to address a growing challenge facing the United States and its allies: the need to rapidly scale production of mission-critical components while strengthening resilient domestic supply chains. As demand grows across aerospace, defense, energy and other strategic industries, manufacturers need trusted partners capable of moving qualified applications into repeatable production at scale.
Velo3D is the only U.S.-founded and U.S.-based OEM in the large-format laser powder bed fusion market whose hardware is manufactured in the United States, whose software is developed in the United States, and whose systems are deployed across the United States, allied nations and trusted international partners.
The campus supports machine assembly, production-scale printing, post-processing, inspection, quality assurance and customer acceptance, so Velo3D can build both its additive manufacturing systems and qualified production parts under one roof. Operations ramp in phases as systems are installed and qualified.

Opening Day: July 15, 2026
Velo3D celebrated the opening of Forge 1 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony joined by Livermore Mayor John Marchand, Alameda County Supervisor David Haubert, California Senator Jerry McNerney, Alameda County Assessor Phong La, company leadership, customers, employees and community partners. Attendees also heard a special message from Lt. Gen. (Ret.) H.R. McMaster, former U.S. national security advisor, on the importance of strengthening American manufacturing and the nation’s industrial base.
“Forge 1 is much more than a new production facility. It represents our commitment to helping customers and our nation build a stronger, more resilient manufacturing foundation. Our customers need more than innovative technology. They need a trusted American partner capable of taking critical programs from qualification to production while strengthening supply chains and supporting national security. Forge 1 is how we deliver on that commitment.”
“Livermore is proud to welcome Velo3D and celebrate the opening of Forge 1. This new production campus reflects the kind of bold investment that continues to shape Livermore as a destination for advanced industry.”
