Northstate Additive is a forward-thinking additive manufacturing startup based in Redding, California. We partner with clients to bring their ideas to life—whether it's developing a brand-new product or refining an existing one. Our founder and CEO, Paul Maready, holds a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering from CSU, Chico, where he led award-winning research in bio-composites, advanced 3D printing techniques, and design-for-manufacturing. Representing the CSU Chico Plastics Program, Paul earned statewide recognition at research expositions in 2022, 2023, and 2024. That hands-on experience revealed a powerful niche: using 3D printing not just for prototyping, but as a full-service solution for individuals, startups, and established companies alike. Today, Northstate Additive serves clients across Northern California with precision, creativity, and a commitment to engineering excellence.
