Welcome to “3D Printing World”!

In Iidabashi, Tokyo you will find the Printing Museum, Tokyo, a museum that is completely dedicated to printing and the role that it played in our world’s development. Starting with the birth of the craft to the current high tech 3D printing technology. No wonder it is a place we love! So we didn’t have to think twice when they asked us if we wanted to participate in an exhibition around 3D printing.

“Toppan is one of the largest global 2D printing companies. The fact that they also show an interest in 3D printing proves that organizations are increasingly realizing the benefits offered by this new technology. Not only with regard to everyday objects but for a variety of products including jewelry and art objects.”

Tsuyoshi Kobayashi, marketing specialist at i.materialise Japan
