Für was wir stehen
Unser Wettbewerbsvorteil
Even though we draw on 25 years of experience in 3D printing, we are constantly looking for ways to improve the quality of our prints and services.
Our continuous research into new materials and finishes, as well as our user-friendly website ensure that we are able to offer the largest selection of materials and finishes out there and that we meet our customers’ needs with the highest quality possible.
We are an ever-expanding global company, and we offer one of the largest production facilities in the world.
Unsere Märkte
We are versatile and dynamic, and offer something unique for a diverse range of customers. From makers and designers looking for premium prints of their designs, to e-commerce entrepreneurs who want to streamline their file-fixing, quoting and 3D print ordering process – we have a solution.
And for entrepreneurs who want to sell their designs without having to invest in an expensive e-commerce platform or startup stock, we offer an online marketplace – free of charge. We handle the logistics and customer support, so you can focus on what you do best.

Wie alles began
I made a statue of my birdwatching girlfriend and her dog with FDM (Fumbling Deposition Modeling), a technique by which you deposit liquid metal paste on a folded wire structure. (No computer involved yet, but a quite similar technique entered the market 9 years later to become the most selling additive manufacturing machine). While most at the party probably were not rating my artistic capacities very high, the gift was enthusiastically accepted.
Even better, nearly 25 years and 3 teenagers later, we have already consumed many coffee machines, washing machines, vacuum cleaners and even cars. In fact not many objects have survived. However, the personalized FDM gift is still proudly overlooking our kitchen...
Today, people play games with computers and express their creativity with CAD packages. i.materialise brings this virtual world to reality with the tools of professional product developers. We are extremely excited to see how fantastic results are achieved by our users. Most of the examples are very personal items that will truly bring much more emotional value to everybody who likes to design.
