3D Platform Ships Its 500th Printer
3D Platform (3DP), a global leader in manufacturing large-format, industrial-strength 3D printers, marked a major milestone earlier this month when the company shipped its 500th large format 3D printer — in just three years.
The current generation of large format 3D printers, the WorkSeries, is the 5th generation machine to be sold by the company. Unlike the previous generation machines in the 3DP1000 and WorkBench families, the WorkSeries is actually a family of machines.
“During 2016 and into 2017, our customer base was pulling us in two different directions,” commented Jonathan Schroeder, President of 3D Platform. “We had part of our customer base saying that they needed large format, but at a lower price point; and a second segment asking for more performance.”
3DP’s commitment to our customers has led to a very loyal customer base with many them coming back to purchase another printer. We have multiple customers who own more than 5 printers! They will use them not only for prototyping, but deploy them in production support capacities.
--Mark Huebner, Market Development Manager for 3D Platform
One of the biggest keys to the WorkSeries family is that we get to have a conversation with our customers about their needs. We can then choose from one of the 70+ available configurations that are best suited to match their needs.
