Dinsmore Joins AddMan Engineering Group

AddMan Engineering Group has acquired Dinsmore, a provider of polymer 3D printing services, and added it to its manufacturing solutions network. This transaction marks the fifth acquisition for AddMan over the past two years. The addition of Dinsmore further broadens AddMan’s polymer production capability with its complementary additive and traditional manufacturing services.

Dinsmore is known for its expertise in go-to-market and rapid manufacturing, supporting prototyping and low-volume production for customers with a concentration in medical applications. The company operates more than 35 additive machines using leading technologies such as MJF, PolyJet, DLS, DLP, SLA, FFF and FDM.

“This announcement marks the expansion of AddMan’s ability to support medical industry partners,” says Joe Calmese, AddMan CEO. “We are planning for significant investment and growth in this arena going forward, and Dinsmore will serve as a core part of this strategy.”

The acquisition has advantages to both companies. “The synergies between our brands were undeniable and it made the decision to join AddMan an easy one for myself personally, along with the long-term advantage it provides my staff,” says Jay Dinsmore, Dinsmore founder and CEO. “AddMan operates with a level of integrity and understanding of additive that matches the high value proposition that is synonymous with the Dinsmore brand. Simply put, these folks get it! I'm happy to be a driving force in expanding their polymer business.”

Now that Dinsmore is a part of the AddMan network, it can deliver a suite of new services, such as injection molding, CNC machining, metal additive manufacturing and ISO 13485 cleanroom molded parts. “This move extends our capacity to support customers through their complete product life cycle,” Dinsmore adds.

AddMan is enthusiastice about the caliber of talent at Dinsmore. “By joining forces with Dinsmore, we now have one of the largest rosters of AMUG-awarded DINOs under one roof,” Calmese says. 

The Additive Manufacturing User Group (AMUG) awards Distinguished Innovator Operators Awards (DINO) to honor top leaders in the additive field. AddMan’s five DINO employees and advisors now include Dr. Youping Gao, Bob Markley, Jay Dinsmore, Bill Braune and Jason Lopes.

“We solve problems first and print second. Some of the most recognized in our field resonate with this mission and chose to be a part of the culture we are building,” Calmese adds. “The knowledge transfer and development of our staff, led by these individuals, is something I am so incredibly happy to see each day across our now eight locations.”
