Fiberneering

What Fiberneering does

Fiberneering BV (now rebranding to Most3DPrint) is a Netherlands-based 3D printing service bureau and proprietary-technology developer founded in 2015 by Jasper Bouwmeester and headquartered in Zwolle with a production facility in Heerde. The company designs and operates its own large-format XXL-DLP printers using a patented FRP3D (Fiber-Reinforced Printing in 3D) process that combines a custom light-curing resin (Standard Blue X10, density ~1,150 kg/m3) with subsequent reinforcement using glass, aramid, or carbon fiber. Build volumes reach 510 x 410 x 1,000 mm per print, with multi-part assemblies enabling objects up to ~4 meters long at ~150 micron resolution; multiple machines run 24 hours per day. The business operates under parent Koninklijke Van der Most, with sales, invoicing, and the production site integrated with the parent group.

The firm sells four core service lines — large 3D-printed models and figures, prototypes, industrial tooling (polyurethane casting moulds, vacuum-forming moulds, composite lay-up tooling), and 3D scanning/modelling — plus post-processing (sanding, polishing, RAL-color coating). Revenue is generated primarily through project-based contracts, recurring customized-series production, and one-off prints, with pricing tiered by tolerance, finish, coating, and delivery time and returned via an online quote workflow within 24 hours. Customer verticals span visual marketing, entertainment, architecture, product development, and high-tech composites, with named end users including Akerboom Yacht Equipment, KOGA (Olympic track bike handlebars with KNWU and TU Delft), Kobato, Nedcam, LedGo, InteSpring (Exobuddy exoskeleton with TNO), Domani, Sanquin, and a range of heritage, scenography, and retail clients.

The operating model is engineering-driven and vertically integrated: an in-house materials lab develops resin chemistry, while an engineering studio handles topology optimization and FEM analysis (Solidworks, Ansys, Magics, Blender). Distribution is increasingly channeled through Koninklijke Van der Most / Most3DPrint, and the company attends industry events such as Formnext 2024. Fiberneering is a privately held Dutch B.V. with no disclosed funding rounds, external investors, or revenue figures.

Revenue model

1. Project-based production services: The majority of work is performed on a project basis, where Fiberneering handles the full production chain from design and engineering through to finishing and installation. Pricing is quote-based per project.
2. Customized series production contracts: For recurring orders (even where the product changes each time), Fiberneering produces on a contract basis — e.g., production of personalized figurines based on 3D scans.
3. Single-piece print orders: One-off 3D prints produced from customer-supplied CAD models or scans, priced per piece through the quote-request workflow.
4. Industrial tooling sales (replacement for machined tooling): Sale of 3D-printed plugs, moulds, casting moulds (e.g., polyurethane casting moulds for Kobato) replacing machined aluminum moulds; positioned as cost-efficient small-series tooling at up to 50% cost reduction.

KNWU is the end customer, TU Delft contributed engineering/scientific input; Fiberneering produced the 3D-printed handlebar cores used on the bike.
• InteSpring (with DEC M&U and TNO)flagship partnershipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 2 April 2020Joint development of the Exobuddy — a patented passive exoskeleton for military personnel that converts forward movement into vertical supporting force and takes over 80% of carrying load. Fiberneering optimized the upper-leg component for weight and manufacturing using topology-optimized 3D-printed cores with carbon-fiber reinforcement. Partners: InteSpring (founder since 2006), DEC M&U, and TNO. Project was in final testing phase in 2020 with planned commercial availability in 2020.
• LedGoflagship partnershipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 2 April 2020Dutch LED/video/visual-effects specialist and Fiberneering jointly designed and built a 4-meter-long LED spaceship installed above the dance floor of Acme nightclub in Central Hong Kong. Fiberneering engineers analysed each part to choose the most cost-effective production method, then 3D-printed the complex geometry, assembled parts using the same FRP-3D resin, and reinforced structural components with multiple layers of glass fiber for safety.
• Akerboom Yacht Equipmentflagship partnershipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 2 April 2020Akerboom (a co-maker for Royal De Vries Shipyard, Royal Van Lent Shipyard and other leading superyacht builders) approached Fiberneering to apply additive manufacturing to (carbon-)reinforced superyacht parts. In 2019 they developed a new superyacht passerelle; Fiberneering 3D-printed the cores and moulds (including LED-light housings integrated into the print), which Akerboom then carbon-fiber-reinforced and finished.
• Kobatocore partnershipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 2 April 2020Fiberneering together with Kobato CEO/engineer Bart Rouwers developed a 3D-printed solution for polyurethane casting moulds as an alternative to machined aluminum moulds. The FRP-3D moulds (Standard Blue X10 resin) can be up to 20x lighter than aluminum, lasting 200+ castings.
• Domanicore partnershipStrategic or Co-development Partner · 2 April 2020Co-developed the composite steering console and navigation superstructure for the Domani E32 electric tender (revealed at Boot Düsseldorf 2020).

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Materialise: Large, publicly listed industrial 3D printing service bureau offering a wide range of polymer and metal AM services; comparable as a one-stop 3D print service provider for industrial buyers, though it does not specialize in fiber-reinforced composite tooling.
• EnvisionTEC (ETEC, now part of Desktop Metal): Historical leader in DLP-based 3D printers with industrial material libraries; comparable technology lineage to Fiberneering's DLP process and a potential competitor/partner for industrial DLP printing applications.
• Stratasys Direct Manufacturing: Industrial 3D printing services arm of Stratasys, offering large-format polymer and specialty material printing; directly comparable as a contract manufacturer competing for industrial prototype and tooling work, with broader material coverage.
• Markforged: Public 3D printing vendor specializing in continuous carbon/glass fiber-reinforced thermoplastic printing (industrial FX10 platform); competes with Fiberneering for fiber-reinforced composite tooling and structural part wins.

Direct peers

Emerging players

• 9T Labs: Swiss-based supplier of carbon fiber 3D printing systems and software for high-performance composite parts; competes in the same fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite space served by FRP3D.
• Continuous Composites: Developer of a continuous fiber 3D printing process (CF3D) combining thermoset resins with dry fiber reinforcement; comparable as a fiber-reinforced AM technology player competing for the same structural/composite applications.
• Arris Composites: Additive manufacturing company specializing in high-performance fiber-reinforced composite parts for consumer electronics, aerospace and automotive; comparable as a composite AM specialist targeting structural parts, but using a different (continuous fiber overmolding) process.
