Clients from Fountain Valley, Anaheim, and across the greater Los Angeles region rely on Bitform for manufacturing that bridges the gap between concept and production-ready reality.
Manufacturing Disciplines
Three core disciplines — one facility. Click through to explore each in detail.
3D Printing
FDM · SLS · SLA
Industrial additive manufacturing spanning high-performance FDM with PEEK and carbon fiber, powder-bed SLS for production parts, precision SLA for engineering-grade prototypes, and an automated Bambu Lab print farm running 24/7 on custom fabos orchestration software.
- Aon3D M2+ — PEEK/PEKK capable, 500 °C
- Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W — SLS powder-bed fusion
- Formlabs Form 4L — large-format resin
- Bambu Lab automated print farm
CNC Machining
Metals · Woods · Composites
In-house subtractive manufacturing on a Haas VF-2 machining center with 30 HP spindle and 20-station ATC. Aluminum, steel, brass, titanium, wood, and composite milling — most 3D printing shops outsource CNC, but we do both under one roof.
- Haas VF-2 — 40×20×25 in. travels
- 3-axis milling, drilling, tapping
- Tight tolerances across metals and composites
- Complementary to additive workflows
Laser Engraving
MOPA Fiber · CO2 · Metal Marking
Advanced metal laser engraving powered by an XTool F2 Ultra 60W MOPA fiber laser — color marking on stainless steel, deep engraving on brass and copper, and PCB prototyping. Paired with a CO2 laser for wood, acrylic, leather, and glass cutting.
- XTool F2 Ultra — 60W MOPA fiber + 40W diode
- Color engraving on stainless steel
- Deep metal engraving, custom coins, PCB etching
- CO2 cutting for wood, acrylic, leather, glass

Why In-House Manufacturing Matters
Owning the entire production chain — from design to finished part — means we control quality, timeline, and cost at every step.
Faster Turnarounds
No shipping to third-party vendors. Parts move from CAD to machine in hours, not weeks. Revisions happen the same day.
Quality Control
Every part is inspected by the same team that designed and manufactured it. No hand-offs, no miscommunication, no surprises.
Hybrid Workflows
Combine 3D printing and CNC in a single project — print a complex geometry, then machine critical surfaces to tight tolerances.
Cost Efficiency
No middleman markups. Competitive pricing with the responsiveness and flexibility of a local partner in Orange County.
Design-for-Manufacturing
Our engineers understand every machine in the shop. Designs are optimized for the exact process and material — not generic guidelines.
IP Protection
Your files never leave our facility. In-house manufacturing means your intellectual property stays secure from start to finish.
