XTPL outsources manufacturing of its Delta Printing System to an Estonian partner

The Polish deep-tech company XTPL S.A. has outsourced the manufacturing of its Delta Printing System (DPS) to the Estonian Tech Group. With this move, XTPL is responding to the increasing standardization of the system and to rising demand for the company’s other products in the field of ultra-precise 3D printing for electronics manufacturing.

Since the accelerated commercialization in 2023, more than 40 DPS systems have been installed worldwide. The systems are used in research institutions and by industrial customers in North America, Asia, and Europe and serve as technology demonstrators for the company’s proprietary Ultra-Precise-Dispensing technology. In the future, a large share of DPS devices will be manufactured in Estonia, with production fully handled by the external partner from 2027 onward.

“Delta Printing System devices designed and manufactured by XTPL are already operating in more than 40 laboratories worldwide. This is a mature and highly standardized product and we are ready to entrust its further production to Tech Group from Estonia, gaining greater scale and flexibility. We have completed a multi-month testing phase covering the joint production of a DPS device, followed by Tech Group’s independent preparation of the device, which successfully passed the validation process. This ensures repeatable, high quality for subsequent DPS devices delivered to our clients. The professionalism of our partner’s team, its experience in building precision high-tech machinery and its significantly higher manufacturing capacity will allow us to respond even more effectively and flexibly to market demand. As a result, we will reallocate XTPL’s internal resources toward the production of a higher number of UPD modules and DPS+ devices, for which we expect growing sales next year. In 2026, the majority of DPS deliveries will be manufactured by our partner, with nearly 100% of DPS units originating from the Estonian factory from 2027 onward. We are very pleased to be entering this next stage of cooperation with Tech Group”, says Filip Granek, CEO of XTPL S.A.

The partner’s higher manufacturing capacity is expected to enable more flexible responses to market demand and allow internal resources to be focused specifically on expanding UPD modules and the further developed DPS+ systems. The company also anticipates benefits at the business level, as inventory levels and the pre-financing of critical components will be reduced.

“We enjoy collaborating with high-tech companies such as XTPL to help scale their business. Our strength lies in acting as an extension of our customers’ business, supporting them with co-development, engineering, and production. The goal is to deliver such value that they never hesitate to rely on us. We’re glad to strengthen our collaboration with XTPL and look forward to building on this foundation”, comments Martin Sutrop, CEO of Tech Group.

“The cooperation with Tech Group generates a number of benefits for both parties. In our case, it primarily enables the reallocation of internal manufacturing resources toward the production of a higher number of UPD modules and DPS+ devices planned for commercialization next year. At the same time, the agreement has a positive impact on our balance sheet and cash flow, as it eliminates the need to maintain high inventory levels – with the partner taking responsibility for securing key components. The contractually defined lead times and the number of finished devices held “on call” provide us high flexibility in responding to client orders and the needs of our active distributors at different times. In turn, the partner’s purchasing power and its capacity to manufacture a significantly higher number of devices than our internal capabilities allow will enable us to address a broader market while maintaining attractive margins”, adds Jacek Olszański, CFO of XTPL S.A.

From a technological perspective, the DPS remains a central tool for validating the UPD technology, which enables material deposition at the micrometer scale. This allows XTPL to address applications in display and semiconductor manufacturing as well as flexible electronics, bioelectronics, and new communication systems. The outsourcing of DPS production therefore marks less a withdrawal from 3D printing than a focus on scalable components and industrial integration.
