What 3DPrint does

3DPrint.com, operated by 3DR Holdings, is a B2B media and information platform serving the additive manufacturing (AM) / 3D printing industry. The platform publishes daily news, feature articles, analysis, buyer's guides, and market intelligence targeting AM engineers, designers, manufacturing professionals, investors, and government/defense buyers. It is co-founded and led by Brian Krassenstein (Editor-in-Chief) and Eddie Krassenstein (Managing Editor), with a reported headcount of 1-10 employees and operations based in New York, USA. Coverage spans 35+ content categories including bioprinting, aerospace, automotive, dental, education, metals, polymers, materials, software, and scanning, with a global audience footprint.

The platform is built on a WordPress content management system and is organized around multiple integrated products: the free 3DPrint.com website, a paid PRO subscription tier, the Additive Manufacturing Research (AMR) division producing proprietary market studies and quarterly data reports, a three-show podcast network (3DPOD, Printing Money, 3D Printing News Unpeeled), a community forum (3DPrintBoard), 18+ sponsored Industry Zones (EOS Zone, HP Zone, Stratasys, Bioprinting, Space, Desktop Metal, Colibrium Additive, ROKIT Healthcare, ASTM, ASME, ExOne, Forward AM, MakerOS, 3D Systems, and others), an embedded print services marketplace, and co-production of the Additive Manufacturing Strategies (AMS) annual conference.

The business model is sales-led and primarily advertising-driven. Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) advertising and zone sponsorships sold to AM vendors, OEMs, and service bureaus (the dominant stream, with advertisers including EOS, HP, Stratasys, 3D Systems, Xometry, ADDMAN, Formlabs, Desktop Metal, GE Additive, and SLM Solutions); (2) recurring PRO subscriptions unlocking AMR proprietary data and exclusive analysis; and (3) event and webinar sponsorships, including the AMS conference and UAS Additive Strategies webcasts. ADDMAN serves as the primary Site Sponsor. The company is privately held, with no disclosed external funding, M&A, or institutional ownership in the source data.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• SME (Society of Manufacturing Engineers): SME is a major manufacturing industry association that publishes Manufacturing Engineering magazine and produces the RAPID+TCT conference — directly overlapping with 3DPrint.com's editorial coverage and event partnerships (RAPID+TCT, AMUG).
• Engineering.com: Engineering.com is a broad engineering and manufacturing media site that covers additive manufacturing among many other topics. It competes with 3DPrint.com for AM-related content and ad revenue from a wider engineering audience.

Regional players

• Today's Medical Developments: Today's Medical Developments covers medical and dental manufacturing, including additive manufacturing applications. It overlaps with 3DPrint.com's healthcare/bioprinting/dental AM coverage and competes for medical AM vendor ad budgets.
• The Manufacturer: The Manufacturer is a UK-based B2B manufacturing media outlet that covers additive manufacturing alongside broader manufacturing topics. It is comparable as a manufacturing trade media peer, though regionally focused on the UK and Europe.

Direct peers

• VoxelMatters: VoxelMatters is an independent media and market intelligence platform focused exclusively on additive manufacturing, providing news, industry reports, and market data — overlapping directly with 3DPrint.com's news, research, and AMR data products.
• Wohlers Associates (ASTM International): Wohlers Associates, now part of ASTM International, produces the landmark Wohlers Report on the state of additive manufacturing — a flagship industry research product that competes with 3DPrint.com's AMR reports for AM market intelligence customers.
• TCT Magazine (Rapid News Group): TCT Magazine is a leading independent trade publication covering additive manufacturing and 3D printing, with associated TCT Conference events. It is the most direct editorial and event competitor to 3DPrint.com, serving the same engineering and manufacturing audience with news, analysis, and industry events.
• Additive Manufacturing (Gardner Business Media): Additive Manufacturing magazine, published by Gardner Business Media, is a flagship B2B trade publication for the AM industry. It competes directly with 3DPrint.com for advertising dollars from AM vendors and for the attention of engineering decision-makers.

Others

• Additive Manufacturing Strategies (event / partner): Additive Manufacturing Strategies is the conference co-produced by 3DPrint.com. While not a direct competitor, the event ecosystem of competing AM conferences (Formnext, RAPID+TCT, AMUG) represents the competitive landscape for 3DPrint.com's event revenue.

Emerging players

• SmarTech Analysis (SmarTech Publishing): SmarTech Analysis publishes proprietary AM market research reports and forecasts. It is comparable to 3DPrint.com's AMR division in producing subscription and report-based market intelligence on additive manufacturing, though with a more research-only focus.
