What 3DLAC does
3DLAC, operated by LABORATORIOS 3D PRINT, S.L., is a Spanish manufacturer of specialty adhesives and consumables for fused-filament 3D printing. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Benavente, Zamora, the company develops and sells chemical adhesive formulations — including the flagship 3DLAC aerosol spray, the 3DLAC PLUS concentrated formula for fiber-reinforced and engineering-grade filaments, the alcohol-free 3DLAC STICK applicator, and the 3DNYLON line of nylon filaments with matching adhesive — designed to solve first-layer adhesion failures and warping across PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon, and TPU materials. Products are formulated in collaboration with specialized laboratories and manufactured in Spain.
The business model is direct-to-consumer e-commerce first: 3DLAC sells through its proprietary multilingual shop at 3dlac.com/tienda, an official AliExpress store, and an authorized partners network spanning at least seven European countries. Pricing is unit-based with low single-digit to low-tens of euros per SKU (e.g., €7.00 for the 400ml Original spray, €21.00 for PLA+ filament, €45.00 for the 3DNYLON bundle), augmented by volume discounts that target B2B and repeat buyers. Customer segments split between hobbyist/consumer 3D printer users (primary), professional and industrial users with advanced materials, and a small set of named enterprise accounts including Renault Spain. The company is privately held, employs 1-10 people, has not raised external venture or private equity capital, and benefits from KIT DIGITAL/Next Generation EU co-financing for digitalization.

3DLAC competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Dimafix: Spanish-based maker of adhesive sprays specifically formulated for FFF/FDM 3D printer print beds. Direct head-to-head competitor to 3DLAC in the same Spanish/European hobbyist market, with comparable product positioning and price points.
- Magigoo: Maker of adhesive pens and sticks for 3D printing bed adhesion, with material-specific variants (PLA, ABS, PP, PC, PA). Closely overlaps 3DLAC's original and stick product lines and competes for the same hobbyist and professional customers.
- 3D Gloop!: US-based manufacturer of adhesive products engineered for 3D printing, offering material-specific formulations for PLA, ABS, and other filaments. Competes directly with 3DLAC on specialty adhesive SKUs.
- PrintaFix: Producer of print-bed adhesive sprays and pens for 3D printing applications, sold through hobbyist and reseller channels in Europe and beyond. Overlaps with 3DLAC's spray and stick categories.
- WhamBam Systems: Sells adhesive sprays and flexible magnetic build plates for FDM 3D printers. Comparable to 3DLAC as a print-bed consumables specialist targeting the hobby and prosumer segments.
- Layerneer: Developer of bed-adhesion solutions and surface preparation products for 3D printing. Competes in the same adhesive consumables category with similar material-specific positioning.
Broad incumbents
- eSUN: Large Chinese manufacturer of 3D printing filaments (PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon) plus a wide portfolio of 3D printing consumables and accessories. Comparable to 3DLAC's filament side (PLA/PLA+, 3DNYLON) and a broad competitive threat via marketplace channels.
- Polymaker: Global filament and 3D printing materials manufacturer offering PLA, Nylon, PC, and engineered materials. Comparable on the filament side of 3DLAC's product mix, especially 3DNYLON.
- Henkel: Global adhesives and sealants giant with industrial and consumer adhesive brands. Represents the long-term competitive ceiling if 3D printing consumables scale into mass industrial use; comparable as the category-defining adhesives manufacturer.
Emerging players
- BuildTak: Manufacturer of print-surface sheets and accessories designed to replace or complement liquid adhesives. Represents a substitute threat to 3DLAC's adhesion solution while addressing the same first-layer-adhesion pain point.
