Company profile
researched Sep 2026Pantheon Design develops high-speed 3D printers together with the materials and software used to run them. The company's stated aim is to build systems capable of producing large, fast and strong parts, framed around an internal goal of 3D printing a motorcycle in a single day and racing it the next, and a longer-term ambition of racing a 3D-printed motorcycle in the Dakar rally.
The product line centers on two printer platforms, the HS3 and the HS-Pro, sold alongside an ecosystem of consumables and spare parts. The online store lists the Pantheon HS3 at $14,999 and an HS3 plus Uptime Package bundle at $18,500, together with high-speed deposition print heads, print cores, build trays, nozzles, filament handling equipment such as a filament cartridge and an 80L filament drying oven, and engineered filaments including carbon fiber nylon, glass fiber nylon and carbon fiber co-polyester (PETG). A print services offering and a documentation wiki are also listed. The company describes its mission as democratizing manufacturing so that individuals can make as much as a factory.
Founding story
According to the company, two engineers, Alex and Bob, were dissatisfied with software jobs and wanted to build physical products. They started a motorcycle shop in their backyard and began using 3D printing as a manufacturing method for automotive parts. That work grew into a product development firm staffed with hardware engineers, which applied 3D printing to medical devices, concept vehicles and mechatronics systems for the film industry, and in turn led to the printer business.
Business model
Pantheon Design sells 3D printing hardware directly through an online store, along with recurring-purchase consumables (filaments, nozzles, build trays, adhesives, service and maintenance kits), spare parts, refurbishment services for print heads, and support bundles such as the HS3 Uptime Package. A print services option is also offered.
Revenue comes from one-time hardware sales of printers and printheads, ongoing sales of materials and replacement components, service and refurbishment offerings, and support packages bundled with printers.
Traction
The storefront lists 44 products spanning printers, print heads, consumables and accessories, indicating a shipping commercial product line; all listings were shown as sold out at the time of capture.
