Last week of 2011: Our printers need a break, our people keep on going

As mentioned in our previous blog post about the year in 3D printing, we can say with total confidence that 2011 was a big year. Not only was it a big year for the entire 3D printing industry, but also for us at i.materialise. We have seen our monthly orders increase with almost 300% and our turnover has more than quadrupled. For this we want to thank you, our dear customers and creative designers.

Of course, such wonderful labor has taxed all of our hard working machines and so we’ve decided to give them a well-deserved holiday break between the 23rd of December and the 2nd of January of 2012. After all, we don’t want them to turn against us and start a whole Terminator revolt. To be honest with you, we are already taking the necessary steps to avoid this by giving them some extra space in our new (still under construction) building.

Our latest expansion is the biggest building on the left

Another important date is the 27th of December. On that day there won’t be any access to our website, our blog and any of our online services as we’ll be rebooting our entire network.

So to quickly recap…

  • Our production facility will not be operating between Dec 23rd and Jan 2nd (This means that we won’t be shipping any orders or priority orders but our support engineers will still be available)
  • Our network will be rebooted on Dec 27th (This means that you won’t have any access to our website, blog or any of our online services during this day)
  • Even though some December orders will still be shipped on Jan 3rd, we don’t expect any 2012 orders to be send out before Jan 5th.

Well there you have it ladies and gentlemen. For further questions, you can always contact us.
