Plethora
Plethora is building the factory of the future. We believe everyone should have access to the powers of creation - the ability to think of an invention and instantly get feedback on its manufacturability and cost, and then get it as quickly as possible.
We’ve created a manufacturing system that turns customer designs into custom parts using robotics and advanced software that we’ve developed in-house. Our customers are R&D engineers, product designers, startups, scientists, makers, and artists.

Purpose
WHY WE EXIST 1 – Creating hardware today is time consuming and expensive. 2 – This friction constrains the development process, leading to suboptimal products and high barriers for anyone with a new idea. 3 – Smarter design tools and production processes enable more people to invent. 4 – We’re building a world where innovation is radically accelerated and everyone feels empowered to create and improve our lives.
Vision
We have a big vision for the future of manufacturing and engineering. A future where engineers are able to make better designs and produce them effortlessly – with the help of powerful interfaces and flexible production technologies. We’re always learning what’s important from our customers and quickly developing new capabilities. In the near future, look for new production processes, materials, finishing options, and much more. Plethora will not stop until everyone on Earth has easy access to every too
Mission
Plethora strives to streamline product development. We start with the design software: our CAD Add-in analyzes your model for manufacturability and price. This avoids the usual back-and-forth of quoting and feedback – letting you focus on making parts, not managing your suppliers. After you place an order, your design files enter the Plethora Production System where our automated software converts them into the instructions our factory uses to produce and inspect your part. We believe our “full stack”
