Printed Solid Is Now Prusa USA as Czech Maker Doubles Down on America

A Delaware name change with Prague behind it

Printed Solid, the Delaware-based filament maker and printer shop that Prusa Research bought in 2022, is now Prusa USA, Inc. Tom's Hardware caught up with the Prusa team at Open Sauce, where they confirmed the change is mostly cosmetic. Day to day, nothing shifts, and the company will keep trading as "Printed Solid, a Prusa Company" during the transition.

What actually changes

Josef Prusa stays CEO of both companies, and a new marketing officer is moving up from inside the team. The real substance is in Wilmington: a 100,000 square foot Delaware factory that now runs a duplicate print farm for building printers and filament. The plant assembles the Original Prusa MK4S and the CORE One+, plus Prusament and the Jessie line of PLA and PETG (named after Randolph's dog). It also acts as the American fulfillment hub for Prusa's Amazon sales and the official US service center for repairs.

Prusa is careful to call itself a "European-American" company with US production, but the printers are not fully "Made in the USA" yet. Some parts still come from the Prague factory, which helps dodge supply chain snags for American buyers.

Leadership churn behind the rebrand

The rebrand follows a rough patch in management. David Randolph, Printed Solid's former CEO, stepped down in February, and Chris Pelesky, the chief sales and marketing officer, left earlier this month. Both are still in the game: Randolph now runs chocolate printer startup Cocoa Press, and Pelesky leads 3D Printopia, a big consumer expo landing in Philadelphia this fall.

Why the timing matters

The move lands as several US states push anti-3D-printing bills that would put blocking tech or monitoring software on new printers to curb homemade firearms. Delaware just introduced House Bill 399 with exactly that kind of mandate. Prusa has positioned itself against that trend, leaning on open source, right to repair, and a security record that includes US military and government contracts.

The bottom line

For American Prusa owners, the practical wins are shorter shipping times, local warranty service, and more domestic stock. The name on the box is new, but the people and the products are the same. If you have been waiting on Prusa support or a restock, a US-based operation should make both noticeably faster.
