Haddy launches world’s largest 3D printing factory with AI-driven production capabilities.
Haddy, a major player in digital manufacturing, opened the doors to what it claims is one of the world’s largest 3D printing facilities in St. Petersburg. The AI-powered factory reportedly has 16 times the production capacity of its nearest competitor in the 3D printing industry.
The state of the art microfactory enhances the US’s manufacturing capabilities when compared to the global landscape that is shaped by current market policies. Haddy’s facility features robots, AI, and entirely recyclable materials which enable the facility to produce industrial grade output with unrivaled speed and efficiency.
“Haddy’s new facility represents one of the most significant leaps forward for the ‘reindustrialization’ movement in the United States,” said Jay Rogers, CEO of Haddy, in an interview with BBC News. “Emerging tech is paving the way. Hard-to-make products can be re-shored to regions all over the United States – and made even better than when they were concentrated in low-labor locations abroad.”
While initially focused on producing design-forward furniture, the company is expanding into sectors including national defense, disaster recovery, and construction. The technology offers a blueprint for agile, on-demand production of items ranging from battlefield equipment to modular housing components.
Lex Keifhaber, COO of Haddy, emphasized the significance of the launch: “This isn’t just a factory opening. This is America planting a flag in the future of making things. We can build smarter, faster, and cheaper, while improving overall quality.”
The St. Petersburg facility boasts several impressive features, including one of the world’s largest 3D printing operations based on total throughput and machine count. The system achieves 4-6 times more output per robot than standard systems and uses 100% recyclable, sustainable materials.
Industry leaders have taken notice of Haddy’s advancements. Gat Caperton, CEO of Gat Creek and Board member of the AHFA, called it “the next quickening in the Industry 4.0 movement,” adding that “Haddy has created a clean factory that takes digital designs and turns them into beautiful, lasting objects. The materials are circular. The process generates no waste.”

The technology in question is a remarkable development in the capabilities of manufacturing industries because production is faster, more efficient, and more eco-friendly. Although Haddy intends to move internationally step-by-step from region to region, its entry into the United States is pivotal in the advanced manufacturing industry being relocated into the United States.
