Sell More Systems with Financing Built for Additive Manufacturing.
Whether you're selling a single polymer system, a metal platform with post-processing or a full production cell with scanning and software, FPG helps your sales team present financing earlier and keep the project moving forward.
Financing should not be the thing your team reaches for after a customer says the capital isn't approved. Used earlier in the sales process, it becomes a competitive advantage that lets a buyer compare a monthly payment against what they already spend sending parts out.

Financing that works at the speed of an equipment sale
Fast decisions matter when a buyer has a qualification timeline, a contract award or a production date that will not move. Speed alone is not enough — sellers also need flexible structures and people who understand the equipment, the buyer and the project.
The Equipment Seller's Perspective
Financing should help create the yes — not show up after the no.
Your priority is to place systems, shorten a long evaluation cycle and protect margin on the full configuration. When financing is treated as an afterthought, the buyer may already have decided to keep outsourcing, buy the printer without the post-processing it needs, or wait for the next platform generation.
Keep post-processing in the quote
Presenting financing early keeps furnaces, wash-and-cure, depowdering, scanning and software in the configuration instead of being cut down to the printer alone.
Compare the payment to outsourcing spend
Most buyers are already paying a service bureau per part. A monthly payment turns a capital decision into a comparison they can run against a cost they already carry.
Answer the technology question
Shorter terms and residual structures give buyers a way to move forward now instead of waiting for the next platform generation.
Protect margin
Give customers structure and payment flexibility before discounting the system or bundling in services becomes the easiest way to save the deal.
We Speak Additive & Advanced Manufacturing
Built around the systems your customers run in production
FPG finances new and used additive and advanced manufacturing systems, from a single printer to a complete production cell with post-processing, inspection and software. We underwrite the buyer and understand that system type, configuration, resale value and production requirements can all influence how a transaction should be structured.
Industrial Polymer SystemsFDM, SLS, SLA and DLP platforms for prototyping, tooling and end-use production parts.
Metal Additive SystemsPowder bed fusion, directed energy deposition, binder jetting and metal filament platforms.
Large-Format & CompositeLarge-format and composite printing systems for tooling, patterns, fixtures and structural parts.
Post-Processing & FinishingSintering and debind furnaces, wash and cure stations, depowdering, support removal, blasting and surface finishing.
Scanning, Metrology & Inspection3D scanners, CT inspection, CMMs and measurement systems for qualification and traceability.
Powder & Material HandlingPowder recovery, sieving, storage, conditioning and inert handling equipment for safe, repeatable production.
Software & WorkflowBuild preparation, simulation, nesting, traceability and production workflow software, financed when bundled with the system.
Hybrid & Automated CellsHybrid additive-subtractive machines, robotic part handling and automated production cells.
Selling a full production configuration rather than a single machine? FPG can structure financing around the complete system — printer, post-processing, inspection and software — in one transaction.
Why Equipment Sellers Use FPG

People who understand the equipment and the sale
Additive deals are not generic business financing. The printer is only part of the number, and the post-processing and inspection equipment are what turn a build into a qualified part. FPG's team works with sellers and buyers to structure the transaction around the complete system and the work it will produce.

Flexible Structures
Typical programs are not one-size-fits-all.
The right structure depends on the customer, the system and when it starts producing qualified parts. FPG can structure the sale around the project instead of forcing every buyer into the same financing box.
Equipment Finance Agreements
Traditional EFA structures for customers that want predictable payments and ownership economics.
$1 Purchase Options
Fixed-term structures designed for customers who intend to own the system at the end of the term.
Residual Structures
Options that can reduce scheduled payments when a residual value makes sense for the asset and transaction.
Shorter Terms
Term lengths that can be set against how long the buyer expects to run the platform rather than a default schedule.
Deferred Payments
Structures that can help a customer get through installation, training and qualification before regular payments begin.
Step Payments
Lower early payments that step up over the term, useful for customers ramping from qualification into production volume.
Bundled Post-Processing & Software
Furnaces, wash and cure, depowdering, scanning, inspection and build-prep software financed with the printer they support.
New & Used Equipment
Financing for new systems and for qualifying used equipment.
Installation, integration, freight and training can be included alongside the hardware, so customers can finance the complete working system rather than the printer alone.
How It Works
From system quote to funded sale
Your sales and applications teams stay focused on the customer and the next system instead of chasing financing paperwork.
1
Scope the System
Your team builds the configuration around the application, the materials and the parts the customer needs to produce.
2
Present Financing
Introduce payment options alongside the cost-per-part case instead of waiting for a capital objection.
3
Customer Applies
The buyer completes the branded application from a phone or desktop.
4
FPG Structures the Deal
We underwrite the opportunity and determine the best available structure.
5
Documents & Funding
FPG handles documents and funds the seller once installation is complete.
6
Expand the Footprint
Your team moves on to the next system, the next material or the next site.
The goal: make financing part of the sales motion without turning your sales team into a finance department.

Payment-Based Selling
Help customers evaluate the payment, not just the system price.
Most buyers are already paying for these parts — they're just paying a service bureau. A monthly payment puts the system in the same terms as the outsourcing spend it replaces, alongside the lead time it removes and the iterations it makes possible.

Additive Manufacturing Financing FAQ
Questions equipment sellers ask
Why should our sales team introduce financing before a customer raises capital approval?
Introducing financing earlier gives the buyer more ways to evaluate the purchase. Instead of discussing only system price, your rep can frame the decision around monthly cash flow and compare it directly against what the customer currently spends outsourcing the same parts.
Can post-processing, inspection and software be financed with the printer?
Yes. Furnaces, wash and cure stations, depowdering, scanning, inspection equipment and build-prep software can be financed alongside the printer, so the customer finances a complete working system rather than a machine that still can't produce a finished part.
Can installation, training and freight be included in the financing?
Yes. Installation, integration, freight and training can be included alongside the hardware. Amounts and structure are subject to credit approval.
Customers worry the technology will move. How does financing help?
Term length is part of the structure. Shorter terms and residual options can be set against how long the buyer expects to run the platform, which gives them a way to move forward now rather than waiting for the next generation.
Can payments be structured around installation and qualification?
Often, yes. Deferred and step structures can help a customer get through installation, training and qualification before regular payments begin, and can support a ramp into production volume. Availability depends on the transaction and credit approval.
How fast are decisions?
Most credit decisions come back in two to four hours. Larger configurations, production cells, unusual structures or more complex credit situations can require additional review.
What happens when a deal does not fit FPG's direct-lending box?
FPG also works with 25+ strategic funding partners. That gives the team additional ways to structure qualifying transactions without forcing the seller to manage separate lender relationships.
When does the seller get paid?
FPG funds your dealership in full on delivery and acceptance. The purchaser pays FPG based on the terms of the loan. You receive payment, and FPG ensures the loan is fulfilled.
