About Evolve Additive Solutions
At Evolve Additive Solutions, we understand what additive manufacturing can do and what it can’t. We also understand the power of traditional manufacturing as it stands today. That’s why we’re building upon the best of both – the flexibility of additive manufacturing with the quality, volume, and scale of traditional manufacturing. Here at Evolve, we are committed to enabling customers to manufacture in revolutionary new ways. With our key differentials in the market, we are able to deliver on our promises of SPEED, COST, QUALITY, MATERIALS, and SCALABILITY without compromise. This is what makes Evolve ready for full-speed volume production manufacturing and the connected factory.

We are creating the future of plastics manufacturing with Selective Thermoplastic Electrophotographic Process (STEP) technology -- the first Additive Manufacturing technology to rival traditional processes like injection molding in quality and cost while bringing to industrial-scale the advantages of Additive. We are building a team to commercialize our STEP technology, backed by industry stalwarts, including LEGO Brand Group and Stanley Black & Decker.
We are looking for the future leaders of our company – brilliant, passionate, multifunctional overachievers excited to get their hands dirty – who will come together as a team and establish Evolve as an industrial production OEM. This means embodying our STEP technology as part of our ecosystem that includes materials, software, services, and applications consulting. Together we will build the business processes and culture to succeed. As we transform ourselves from an R&D team to an equipment manufacturer, this is the moment to get on board and shape the future of manufacturing.
