What Fabbaloo does

Fabbaloo is a privately held online news publication founded in October 2007 by Canadian Kerry Stevenson and operated through Terran Data Corporation. The publication delivers daily news, analysis, and feature coverage of the 3D printing and additive manufacturing industry, organized across eight editorial categories: Corporate, Usage, Design, Event, Hardware, Ideas, Service, and Software. Content is distributed globally through a free website (fabbaloo.com), email newsletter subscription, RSS feed, and Mastodon social presence, reaching an audience of 3D printing industry professionals, hobbyists and makers, and manufacturers seeking to track competitive and regulatory developments.

The publication operates as a content-driven media platform built on standard web publishing technology. It supplements core news with educational FAQ resources covering 3D printing fundamentals and offers advertising and sponsored content services to industry partners seeking access to the 3D printing audience. Editorial coverage is produced by Founder and Editor Kerry Stevenson and a network of regular contributors with sector-specific expertise, including Charles Goulding (Founder/President of R&D Tax Savers), Sarah Goehrke (former Editor-in-Chief of 3DPrint.com and founder of Additive Integrity LLC), and Nora Toure (founder of Women in 3D Printing and Director at Fast Radius). On-site coverage of major industry events, including Rapid+TCT, Formnext, IMTS, and Additive Manufacturing Strategies, is a recurring operational feature.

Fabbaloo monetizes through advertising and affiliate marketing programs that earn commissions by linking to affiliated sites, with no subscription fees charged to readers. The company operates with a small editorial team estimated at 2-10 employees and has maintained continuous daily publication since founding. No external institutional investors, venture capital, acquisitions, partnerships, or notable financial transactions are identified in the source material, indicating a bootstrapped, independently held media operation.
