We started LFS to lower the barrier of entry to LPBF for small shops, university labs, and government programs that need real machine and material flexibility — not just another sealed production printer. A decade of metal-AM machine, sensor, and material work goes into every project.
Ph.D., Materials Science and Engineering. A decade developing materials, machines, and sensors in the metal LPBF space. Earlier roles surfaced the gap LFS was built to close — small shops and research groups locked out of the parameter, sensor, and material flexibility they need. Novel-material experience spans GRX-810, tungsten, lunar regolith, and beyond.
Ph.D., Electrical Engineering. A decade in LPBF, including multi-material LPBF, with a sensor research background in terahertz photoconductive systems. Formerly Director of Additive at the Ohio State University Center for Design and Manufacturing Excellence (CDME). Experience taking machines and sensors from TRL 1 through TRL 9.
Experience modifying and servicing nearly every major LPBF brand on the market.
Peer-reviewed publications on sensor and material development for LPBF.
Lectures and research collaborations with leading universities and conferences.
Proven novel-material development for aerospace and NASA applications.
Family-built company structure means decisions move fast and customers reach decision-makers directly.
Machine and sensor designs tailored to the highest standards of quality and performance.
The fastest way to start is a 20-minute call with one of the founders.
