ASX: T3D 3D printing Ark Invest

3D printing as a hobby has taken off. 3D printing as a commercial venture is only just getting started, many are not familiar with the growing commercial ecosystem of 3D printing.

333D is still finding it’s niche and commercialising the potential of this sector. Much of the sector has focussed on hobby model printing and while the plethora of hobby printers have surged, professional grade commercial products have been limited.

333D have a nice little earner in their minileague products. By signing a licencing arrangement with the NRL and AFL, 333D have a base level cashflow to grow from. Ample opportunity to solidy their quality of product and move into other areas.

Early investors saw a rollercoaster of enthusiasm from initial listing through to 2018, then a valley of despair as the enthusiasm for 3d printing hit the doldrums. Hardly surprising as the industry in general lurched from extreme hype to reality shocks when early 3D printing methods proved fragile, distorted and warped during printing and projected claims of tech ability to print structural grade products evaporated under scrutiny.
