Bifrost, based in Grand Forks, North Dakota, is a full-service manufacturing provider specializing in industrial 3D printing, CNC machining, and custom fabrication. Known for rapid prototyping in the aerospace sector, Bifrost plays a key role in producing components for uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs).
As demand grew, Bifrost’s entry-level 3D printers couldn’t keep up. Inconsistent part quality, limited throughput, and brittle SLS components hindered their ability to scale production and meet customer expectations in the defense and aerospace markets.
To overcome these limitations, Bifrost adopted the Stratasys H350™ printer- powered by SAF® technology. The system delivered high repeatability, improved dimensional accuracy, and significantly increased throughput. It also enabled the production of complex, simulation-validated parts using generative design.
SAF technology transformed Bifrost’s operations:
With these gains, Bifrost transitioned from prototyping to full-scale production, unlocking new markets and winning high-volume contracts—some exceeding 1,000 parts. Beyond UAVs, SAF is now enabling expansion into automotive and ergonomic tooling applications.
