What Filament2print does

Filament2Print is the commercial brand of Dativic, S.L., a privately held Spanish company founded in April 2013 and headquartered in Nigran (Pontevedra), Spain. It operates a multilingual e-commerce storefront (Spanish, English, Portuguese, French, German, Italian) built on PrestaShop that distributes professional 3D printing equipment and consumables — including 3D printers, 3D scanners, filaments, resins, SLS powders, LFAM pellets, accessories, and DIY equipment — sourced from third-party OEMs such as Bambu Lab, Creality, Polymaker, Prusa, CEAD, Piocreat, Raise3D, Sinterit, and Lynxter. The catalog spans all major additive manufacturing modalities (FDM, LCD/DLP/SLA, SLS, DMLS, Metal FFF, Binder Jetting, LAM, LFAM), with individual products priced from approximately €9.50 (Estane TPU pellets) up to €450,000 (Piocreat G40 pellet 3D printer).

The company's go-to-market is a hybrid self-serve e-commerce motion plus B2B field sales for education, public-sector, and reseller accounts. It ships worldwide via DHL Express, UPS, FedEx, GLS, DPD Group, Seur, and Correos Express, with free shipping above €99 within the EU and electronic invoicing available for public bodies. Customer segments are organized horizontally into Individuals, Professional (primary), Industrial, Education, and Public Organizations, and revenue is generated primarily through one-time product transactions, supplemented by volume discounts, leasing/renting financing for industrial equipment, an affiliate program, and value-added services including in-company training, installation/commissioning, and after-sales technical support.

Filament2Print is a small, bootstrapped, founder-led business with 1–10 employees, no external funding, no M&A activity, and no disclosed revenue. Its core capabilities are distribution logistics, multi-brand catalog curation, technical advisory for professional buyers, and cross-border compliance (VAT handling, multilingual support) — rather than proprietary technology. The business model carries typical e-commerce reseller economics, with the optionality of higher-ticket industrial LFAM system sales.

Direct peers

• 3DJake: 3DJake is a large European online retailer of 3D printers, filaments, resins, and accessories, headquartered in Austria. It is the most direct geographic and product-range peer to Filament2Print, competing head-to-head across EU shipping, multi-brand catalogs, and B2B/education customers.
• MatterHackers: MatterHackers is a leading US-based online retailer and materials brand for 3D printing, carrying filaments, resins, powders, printers, and accessories. It is the closest functional equivalent to Filament2Print and competes in the same prosumer/professional buyer segment with similar multi-brand catalog scope.
• Printed Solid: Printed Solid is a UK-based online retailer specializing in 3D printing filaments, resins, and parts. It operates a comparable catalog-driven e-commerce motion, serves European hobbyist and professional buyers, and competes with Filament2Print on filament selection, technical content, and shipping reach.
• 3D Prima (3Dprintlife): 3D Prima (formerly 3Dprintlife) is a Scandinavian/European retailer of 3D printers, filaments, and accessories operating its own online storefront. It is a comparable direct peer serving European professionals and hobbyists with multi-brand supply and content-led marketing, similar to Filament2Print.
• Formfutura: Formfutura is a Netherlands-based 3D printing filament manufacturer with its own direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront. It competes with Filament2Print both as a manufacturer of branded filaments and as a direct retailer, especially in the European professional market.

Regional players

• 3dshop.sk / 3D-shop: 3dshop is a Central European online retailer of 3D printing equipment and consumables, focused on Slovakia/Czech markets. It overlaps with Filament2Print in filament and printer range, but its primary geographic reach is more regional rather than pan-EU.

Others

• Polymaker: Polymaker is a global 3D printing materials brand (filaments, pellets, powders) that operates its own online store. As a supplier whose products Filament2Print distributes (e.g., PolyCore ASA-3012), it is comparable as a brand-and-channel peer but adjacent rather than a head-to-head retailer.
• Prusa Polymers / Prusa3D: Prusa3D sells its own branded 3D printers, filaments, and accessories directly online. As both a supplier to Filament2Print (Prusa is a featured brand) and an OEM with its own storefront, it is adjacent — comparable in product range but not a competing pure retailer.
• CEAD: CEAD is a Dutch LFAM/robotic additive manufacturing technology provider whose pellet extruders and AM Flexbot system Filament2Print distributes. As both a supplier and a technology peer in industrial 3D printing, CEAD is adjacent — comparable in product category (industrial 3D printing systems and materials) but not a competing retailer.

Broad incumbents

• Shapeways: Shapeways is a 3D printing service bureau and online marketplace, broader in scope than Filament2Print but overlapping in professional designer/industrial buyer traffic and 3D printing material expertise. Comparable as an established incumbent in the online 3D printing ecosystem, though not a direct retail competitor.
