What Tumaker does

Tumaker, legally operated as INDART3D, S.COOP., is a Spanish industrial 3D printer manufacturer headquartered and produced in Irún, Gipuzkoa. The company designs and builds professional-grade 3D printing systems centered on a modular, interchangeable printhead architecture that allows users to switch between pellet and filament extrusion on the same machine, with up to 36 possible head-and-volume combinations and a working temperature ceiling of 350°C for technical polymers such as Ultem and PEEK. Its portfolio spans the Tumaker Modular range (Mini Modular, NX 300 Modular, BigFoot 500 Modular), the DUAL/Pro Dual series with independent double heads, the BigFoot Pro Pellets large-format pellet system, and specialized research platforms including the NovaSpider for nanofiber production manufactured by Nadetech.

The business sells primarily through direct factory sales and a global authorized distributor network, with quote-based pricing tied to configuration (print volume, head type, material capability) and multi-year service contracts covering technical support, maintenance, and electronics upgrades. Marketing combines direct engagement (website, LinkedIn, YouTube, factory visits) with event-driven demand generation at industry conferences such as Meet Addit 2026 and co-branded educational webinars with media partners like 3Dnatives. Named enterprise customers include Repsol (energy), ESA (aerospace, via the GRASP project), Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and AIMPLAS, alongside a research customer base spanning universities in Spain, Italy, Germany, and the United States. Industrial manufacturing and research/academia are the two primary use-case segments, with automotive, aerospace, and medical articulated as secondary verticals.

Tumaker is a privately held cooperative operating without external funding rounds or institutional investors. The commercial rights to the Tumaker brand were acquired in 2020 by the founders and CEOs of INDART 3D (Aitor García and Iván Sardón Barbero) together with Rubén García of IT3D Group, which now handles commercial and market-strategy functions while INDART 3D retains R&D and manufacturing. Operating geographies are anchored in Europe with documented international research-customer penetration; the company is GDPR/LOPD compliant and markets itself on the basis of 100% Spanish manufacturing, material flexibility via pellet extrusion, and high configuration customizability as its primary differentiators.
