About Additive Edge

Additive Edge was founded to help companies unlock the full potential of additive manufacturing. With over eight years of experience in the 3D printing industry, founder David Shrayber has guided hundreds of manufacturers in integrating additive technologies to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and accelerate innovation.

Through our partnership with Bristol Precision, Additive Edge serves as the in-house additive manufacturing expert team – helping customers design and produce optimized components, identify new applications, and transition seamlessly from rapid prototyping to full-scale production across multiple 3D printing technologies.

Our mission is simple: bridge the gap between traditional manufacturing and the future of production – one layer at a time.

Why Choose 3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing?

Faster and Cheaper

Additive manufacturing transforms how parts are designed, produced, and delivered. By printing directly from CAD data, complex geometries can be produced in days instead of weeks, at a fraction of the cost of traditional machining.

Compared to Machined Parts:

10-50% lower cost for comparable components
Lead times reduced from 2-3 weeks to just 3-5 days
Minimal material waste and no costly tooling setups
Rapid iteration – print, test, and improve designs in real time

Design freedom without limits

Traditional manufacturing imposes design constraints, additive manufacturing removes them. Complex internal channels, lightweight lattice structures, and part consolidation are now possible, opening new opportunities for performance and efficiency.

With Additive Manufacturing, you can:

Create hollow or lightweight components
Integrate multiple parts into one printed assembly
Optimize performance with organic shapes and internal lattices
Customize parts on demand – no need for tooling changes

Printer expertise you can trust

At Additive Edge, we leverage industrial-grade FDM and high-performance polymer systems capable of producing both prototypes and end-use parts with exceptional accuracy and durability.

Our engineering team fine-tunes print orientation, layer height, infill density, and reinforcement strategy to deliver consistent quality – from concept to production.
