IBJ Reports 3D Parts Manufacturing Offered Incentives for Expansion in Indianapolis

From the Indianapolis Business Journal:

State officials are offering $700,000 in economic development incentives to Indianapolis-based 3D Parts Manufacturing LLC based on its plans to expand and hire 65 workers by 2018.

Launched in January, 3D Parts Manufacturing has joined a recent surge in rapid prototyping and additive manufacturing operations known as 3D printers. In May, IBJ detailed the firm’s $725,000 startup and its plans to grow operations.

Those plans include investing $6 million to lease and equip 25,000 square feet of operations space and hiring 65 workers by 2018, when it expects to generate $20 million in annual revenue. 3D Parts Manufacturing is filling manufacturing and engineering positions.

Indiana Economic Development Corp. has offered the firm up to $625,000 in conditional tax credits and $75,000 in training grants based on job creation. The tax credits are performance-based, meaning they cannot be claimed until workers are hired.
