What 3D PRINT does

3D PRINT is a French industrial manufacturing services company founded in 2004 by Vincent Nuttens and headquartered in Marolles-en-Brie (Île-de-France), operating from a 650 m2 facility with a 15-person team. The company provides a one-stop prototyping and small-to-medium series production platform for B2B customers in aeronautics, automotive (including Formula 1), railway, medical, aerospace, nuclear, robotics, and home automation. Its service model spans four pillars: rapid prototyping, small-series manufacturing, surface treatments and finishing, and quality control/metrology, with related entities 3D MEDICAL (ISO 13485, titanium SLM) and the NUTTENS Group holding structure supporting medical-sector specialization.

The company operates a multi-technological manufacturing platform covering all major 3D printing methods (Polyjet, FDM, SLA, SLS, SLM for metals including titanium, stainless steel, aluminum, Inconel, maraging steel), CNC machining (3-, 4-, and 5-axis), vacuum casting, plastic injection molding, die casting, compression molding, sheet metal fabrication, lost wax casting, and sand casting. Quality control capabilities include Keyence IM 7500 profile projector, Sylvac VISIO 200, CMM, ROMER measurement arm, hardness testing, chemical analysis, and X-ray tomography, with claimed surface finish down to Ra 0.8 µm and dimensional accuracy of 0.001 mm. The company holds ISO 9001:2015 certification (2020-2023) and has received French CII/CIR R&D tax credit approvals for 2019-2021.

3D PRINT monetizes via professional services revenue — custom quote-based project pricing with no public rate card, billed on a multi-year contract basis for some clients. Go-to-market is direct B2B enterprise field sales in the Île-de-France region, supplemented by inbound channels (website contact form, phone, email, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, blog, newsletter). Lead times of 2-10 days for standard prototyping indicate a project-shop operating model. The company has no funding rounds and is privately held; revenue and ARR are not disclosed.
