What REV3RD does

REV3RD s.r.l. a socio unico is a privately held Italian industrial technology company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Pezze di Greco, Fasano (Puglia). It specializes in large-scale additive manufacturing using Fused Granular Fabrication (FGF), a pellet-extrusion form of 3D printing, and sells a full product line of in-house designed pellet extruders (RD-M10+ at up to 12 kg/h, RD-M25 at up to 25 kg/h, RD-M40 at up to 50 kg/h) and complete 3D printing systems (RD-T20 medium-format and RD-HUGE large-format with a 2500x2700x2100 mm build volume). Systems support polymer processing up to 500°C, multi-protocol CNC/robotic integration, automated venturi pellet feeding for 24/7 operation, and compatibility with custom compounds including recycled, rubber, high-temperature, and carbon-fiber filled plastics.

The company's primary customer segments are industrial buyers in aerospace & aeronautics, automotive, and construction, with a secondary push into industrial automation and robotics integration (notably via its 2023 partnership with Spain's ROBOTTIONS). REV3RD makes money through two streams: capital equipment sales of extruders and printers, and professional services including large-scale 3D printing on its own machines, on-demand laser cutting, and material testing/consulting. GTM is sales-led and direct, with quote-based pricing, supplemented by industry trade-show presence (e.g., IFEMA Madrid) and organic social channels.

REV3RD positions pellet extrusion as a lower-cost, more sustainable alternative to filament-based 3D printing, with the company name itself referencing the Italian word 'verde' (green) to underscore its circularity and recyclability narrative. The company remains small (11-50 employees), is structured as a single-shareholder Italian limited liability company with no disclosed external funding, and is led by CEO Alessandro Torre.

Core offering

REV3RD designs, manufactures and sells large-scale 3D printing systems and pellet extruders (FGF/Additive Manufacturing) targeting industrial customers in aeronautical, automotive and construction markets. Alongside hardware (RD-M10+, RD-M25, RD-M40 extruders and RD-T20/RD-HUGE printers), the company provides large-scale 3D printing, laser cutting and material testing/consulting services using its own equipment at its Italian facility.

Product overview

REV3RD offers a portfolio of pellet extruders and large-scale 3D printing systems for industrial additive manufacturing applications. The product line includes three pellet extruder models (RD-M10+, RD-M25, RD-M40) ranging from light to medium weight with throughput capacities from 12 kg/h to 50 kg/h, designed to be combined with robots or CNC machines. These extruders power two 3D printing systems: the RD-T20 medium-format printer (600x900x1200 mm build volume) and the RD-HUGE large-format printer (2500x2700x2100 mm build volume). The portfolio serves aeronautical, automotive, and construction industries with a focus on sustainable manufacturing using innovative and recycled materials. Supporting services include large scale 3D printing, laser cutting, and material testing/consulting.
