Prodways helps you make the shift.
As additive manufacturing changes how production happens across the globe, more and more leaders are discovering the power of 3D printing. They’re reducing inventory costs, speeding delivery and reducing risks and frustration in their own supply chains. They’re learning that when you control your manufacturing, you change everything else too.
But change is hard without a guide.
That’s why Prodways is here. From unique technologies to customized product solutions, everything we do ensures your shift to 3D printing isn’t just easy – it’s profitable.
To help you transform your business, we’ve spent decades mastering every aspect of our own.
We did dozens of tests with different manufacturers of 3D Printers. We finally decided after all those tests to go with Prodways, because we believe they just have the best quality, the best accuracy and the best reliability on the market.

With additive manufacturing […] reducing the development cycle time is our main objective, but we also expect to save several million dollars in development costs compared to using the traditional blade moulding process.

A history of innovation
Prodways was founded in 2013 as a joint effort of the French industrial firm Groupe Gorgé and world-renowned 3D printing pioneer André-Luc Allanic. In the early 1990s, Allanic developed some of the first European 3D printing systems for the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS). In 2007, he created MOVINGLight®, Prodways’ proprietary DLP technology.
Research (CNRS). In 2007, he created MOVINGLight®, Prodways’ proprietary DLP technology. MOVINGLight® was a true technological leap, allowing Allanic to create the fastest and most accurate 3D printers on the market. When he met industrialist Raphaël Gorgé, it seemed the perfect partnership to bring those innovations to the international market.
But technology means little to your business if it can’t impact your bottom line. That’s why for the last decade, Prodways has invested in acquisitions and built business partnerships to help provide solutions customized to every industry and need. We partnered with medical experts and industrial creators. We develop manufacturing materials for specific needs. We customize multi-technology plans and calculate ROI for businesses like yours.
We help you make the shift. Because 3D printing technology isn’t just the foundation of our work. It’s the future of your business.
