Plastic Print Factory

3D printing unique and sustainable furniture with recycled plastics

Pitch

We sell unique, large 3D printed parts made from recycled plastic. We have developed a special extruder that makes it easy to 3D print with waste plastic and are able to print on a much larger scale than conventional 3D printers. We will sell large, unique 3D printed plastic parts for a low price.

We see our beachhead market in the furniture industry in The Netherlands. We see a demand for circular and custom, unique furniture pieces. This comes both from makers and from consumers. In our first location in Amsterdam we will start by serving the approximately 8000 furniture makers and designers in The Netherlands, by making custom and unique parts for them.
Using recycled plastic will reduce the amount of CO2 and at the same time we will reduce the amount of plastic ending up in landfills and in the ocean.
