All3DP GmbH

What All3DP GmbH does

All3DP GmbH, headquartered in Munich and founded in 2014, operates a dual-platform business in the additive manufacturing vertical. The first platform, All3DP.com, is an editorial content site that publishes news, hardware and software reviews, tutorials, materials guides, and industry-specific coverage of 3D printing. It maintains a consumer tier (All3DP) and a professional tier (All3DP Pro) targeting aerospace, defense, and industrial applications, and operates a Pro Site Partner sponsorship program with partners including HZG Group, ErectorBot, and Protopasta.

The second platform, Craftcloud, is a B2B/B2C marketplace that connects customers with approximately 180 international 3D printing service providers, enabling instant quoting and online ordering of parts across multiple technologies (FDM, SLS, resin, metal) and materials. All3DP.com functions as a top-of-funnel demand generation engine, converting organic search traffic into Craftcloud marketplace users. The company also operates All3DP Shop, an e-commerce sub-brand for 3D printing merchandise.

The business model combines marketplace commissions on transactions routed through Craftcloud with advertising, sponsored content, and affiliate revenue on the editorial site. All3DP is venture-backed, having raised approximately $6.65M in disclosed funding across rounds in 2014, 2016, 2018, and 2020 from HTGF, Bayern Kapital, and Deutsche Balaton, followed by an undisclosed growth round in September 2024 led by HZG Group earmarked for international expansion of marketplace solutions. The company employs 51-100 people and is led by co-founders Mathias Plica (CEO), Anatol Locker (Chief Content Officer), and Stefan Schwarz-Ulrich (CTO/CPO).

Direct peers

• Xometry: Xometry operates a global on-demand manufacturing marketplace connecting buyers with CNC, 3D printing, sheet metal, and injection molding suppliers. It is a direct competitor to Craftcloud on the 3D printing services side and a benchmark for marketplace scale in the same horizontal category All3DP serves.
• Hubs (Protolabs Network): Hubs is a global online marketplace for custom manufacturing services including 3D printing, CNC machining, and injection molding, now part of Protolabs. It directly competes with Craftcloud on the 3D printing aggregation model with a larger provider base and integrated DFM tooling.
• Shapeways: Shapeways operates an online 3D printing marketplace and service bureau serving professional and prosumer buyers. It overlaps directly with Craftcloud's marketplace offering and with All3DP's coverage of small-batch and custom 3D printed parts.
• Fictiv: Fictiv runs a digital manufacturing marketplace connecting buyers with CNC, 3D printing, and sheet metal suppliers, with an emphasis on engineering-grade parts and enterprise workflows. It is a direct marketplace competitor to Craftcloud with stronger enterprise sales coverage.
• MakeXYZ: MakeXYZ is a 3D printing services marketplace connecting local printer operators with buyers. It is a direct marketplace peer to Craftcloud at a smaller scale, validating the same on-demand aggregation model.
• 3D Printing Industry: 3D Printing Industry is a leading online publisher of additive manufacturing news, reviews, and analysis — directly comparable to All3DP's editorial platform. The two compete for audience and advertiser spend in the same 3D printing information niche.
• 3Dnatives: 3Dnatives is an online media platform covering 3D printing and additive manufacturing news, applications, and industry trends with a strong European presence. It is directly comparable to All3DP's editorial content business and overlaps with All3DP's Munich-based publishing footprint.

Broad incumbents

• Protolabs: Protolabs is a leading digital manufacturer offering CNC, 3D printing, injection molding, and sheet metal with automated quoting. It is a broader incumbent in on-demand manufacturing and, via its ownership of Hubs, directly competes with Craftcloud's marketplace model at enterprise scale.
• Materialise: Materialise combines 3D printing software (Magics, Streamics) with industrial 3D printing services across medical, automotive, and aerospace. It competes with Craftcloud's services component at the enterprise tier while All3DP's editorial content covers Materialise-relevant industry developments.

Emerging players

• Treatstock: Treatstock operates a 3D printing marketplace with instant quoting and a network of service providers, including CNC services. It is a smaller emerging marketplace peer that overlaps with Craftcloud's on-demand 3D printing aggregation model.
