Flexible Financing & Leasing for Industrial 3D Printing
Investing in industrial 3D printing equipment doesn’t have to tie up valuable capital. With flexible financing and leasing options, your business can deploy advanced additive manufacturing systems while preserving cash flow and maintaining operational flexibility.
Whether you're scaling production, expanding capabilities, or replacing outdated equipment, financing allows you to put the technology to work immediately—while paying over time.
Why Finance or Lease Your 3D Printing Equipment?
Preserve Cash Flow
Keep working capital available for materials, labor, and growth initiatives instead of allocating large upfront capital expenditures.
Immediate ROI
Start generating revenue, reducing outsourcing costs, and improving lead times right away—without waiting to fully fund the purchase.
Predictable Monthly Payments
Fixed payment structures make budgeting simple and align equipment costs with revenue generation.
Stay Technologically Current
Leasing options allow you to upgrade equipment as technology evolves, ensuring you remain competitive in a rapidly advancing industry.
Off-Balance Sheet Options
Certain lease structures may allow you to keep liabilities off your balance sheet, improving financial ratios.
Section 179 Tax Benefits
Under Section 179 of the IRS tax code, businesses may be able to deduct the full purchase price of qualifying equipment in the year it is placed into service—rather than depreciating it over time.
Key Advantages of Section 179
1. Immediate Tax Deduction
Deduct up to the full purchase price of qualifying 3D printing equipment in the same year it is installed and operational.
2. Applies to Financed Equipment
Even if you finance or lease (with a $1 buyout structure), you may still qualify—meaning you don’t need to pay cash upfront to receive the tax benefit.
3. Improves Cash Flow
The tax savings can significantly reduce your net cost, effectively lowering the true price of the equipment.
4. Encourages Growth & Investment
Designed to help small and mid-sized businesses invest in productivity-enhancing equipment without financial strain.
5. Bonus Depreciation May Apply
In addition to Section 179, bonus depreciation may allow further write-offs depending on current tax law.
Example Scenario
A company invests $150,000 in industrial 3D printing equipment:

• Financed with low monthly payments

• Eligible for Section 179 deduction

• Potentially writes off a large portion (or all) of the equipment cost in year one

• Result: lower tax liability + improved cash flow + immediate production capability

Why It Matters for Additive Manufacturing
3D printing is not just equipment—it’s a production advantage:

• Reduce outsourced part costs

• Shorten lead times

• Enable rapid prototyping and iteration

• Bring manufacturing in-house

• Increase margins on custom and low-volume parts

Financing combined with Section 179 allows you to capture these benefits now—without delaying implementation.
