3D Exhibits

What 3D Exhibits does

3D Exhibits, founded in 1995 and headquartered in Schaumburg, Illinois, is a custom trade show exhibit and experiential marketing services provider that operates as a brand within The Freeman Company. The company designs, fabricates, and manages immersive exhibits and brand experiences for enterprise clients across healthcare, technology, financial services, construction equipment, defense, and consumer goods verticals, with a documented portfolio spanning more than 50 named enterprise customers including Dell Technologies, PayPal, Palo Alto Networks, Hexagon, Dexcom, Guardant Health, Straumann Group, SK Pharmteco, Bombardier Defense, and Bobcat. Core offerings include Custom Exhibits (bespoke design and fabrication), Rental Exhibits (reconfigurable Beamtrix modular inventory), Brand Experiences (mobile tours, executive briefing centers, permanent installations), Interactive Experiences (in-house developed LED walls, RFID-enabled demos, generative AI activations, CRM-integrated lead retrieval), Event Production (intimate VIP gatherings through multi-thousand-attendee conferences), International Exhibits (EMEA, APAC, Americas delivery via 18 offices across 7 countries), Program Management (multi-show global program orchestration), and Marketing & Measurement (ROI/ROO analytics). Notable technical capabilities include ClearLED transparent and curved video walls, 360-degree LED rings, RFID-to-CRM lead retrieval integration, spatial-tracking computer vision, and generative AI content creation for attendee engagement, supported by in-house fabrication facilities in Schaumburg and Las Vegas.

The business model is project-based and consultative, driven by RFP submissions and direct enterprise engagement with marketing and event teams. Revenue is generated through one-time custom build engagements, professional services for program management and event production, and recurring rental income from the Beamtrix modular pool and multi-show program retainers. Pricing is quote-based and varies by exhibit size (ranging from 10'x20' island exhibits to 45,000+ sq ft builds such as Dell Technologies World 2024 and Hexagon LIVE Global 2025), customization level, technology integration, and geographic scope. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales supported by a portfolio-driven website and bottom-of-funnel RFP intake, with no standard pricing tiers publicly disclosed. The company holds no patents or trademarks in the source data and has not raised venture funding, instead operating under the umbrella of The Freeman Company for global resourcing.
