Florida-based firm Haddy has launched what it claims to be the world’s largest and most advanced 3D printing facility. Positioned as a landmark in digital production, the site is designed to demonstrate how fast, flexible, and sustainable large-scale manufacturing can now be, especially when powered by artificial intelligence and automation.
Located in St. Petersburg, the facility is being described as a leap forward for American industry. It comes at a time of heightened attention on reshoring and domestic production amidst ongoing global trade uncertainty. Haddy’s factory merges robotics, intelligent software systems, and recyclable materials to create industrial-grade products that are cleaner, faster to produce, and closer to end-users.
At the heart of this new venture is Haddy’s AI-powered infrastructure, which reportedly delivers up to 16 times the output of its closest competitors in the 3D printing space. The company says the site isn’t just about scaling up; it’s about transforming how and where things are made.
Initially focused on high-design furniture, Haddy plans to rapidly expand its offering into more complex and critical sectors, including national defence, disaster relief, and modular construction. The facility is equipped to produce everything from bespoke home fittings to large-scale components used in emergency response and housing development.
Sustainability is also a central feature of the factory. Every material used is fully recyclable, and the production process is designed to minimise waste and environmental impact. Robots working on-site boast significantly higher productivity rates than traditional systems, further pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in automated, digital manufacturing.
The launch has drawn attention from within the manufacturing and design communities, who view the facility as a model for the future, one that moves away from offshore mass production towards smarter, decentralised, and cleaner ways of making.
Haddy’s vision for the site is clear, to prove that large-scale, high-quality manufacturing doesn’t need to happen overseas. With a foundation built on speed, sustainability, and scalability, the company is positioning itself at the forefront of a new industrial era powered by innovation and proudly based on American soil.
