What 10XL does

10XL is a Dutch engineering and large-format additive manufacturing company founded in 2016, headquartered in Hardinxveld-Giessendam, Netherlands. The company develops and operates a proprietary portfolio of five custom-built 3D printing machines (A1, A2, A3, AS1, AT1) ranging from a 2m R&D unit up to a 10m x 3.8m x 2.5m production system with integrated Automated Tape Placement (ATP) and CNC capability. All feedstock is circular — post-consumer waste, end-of-life material, or biobased composites including rPVDF GF30, rPP GF30, and biobased PP with wood fiber — and the company pairs material development with an in-house Life Cycle Analysis tool to guide environmental performance. Production runs on dedicated lines with 24/7 unmanned printing and AI-driven inline quality control.

10XL serves enterprise customers across four primary use-case segments: Infrastructure/Bridges (municipalities, construction firms; e.g., Sparcbridge for 14m x 5m bridge decks), Maritime/Boat Building (Felicity Boating International for a 10m karperboot), Shared Outdoor Spaces (Streetlife, CityGard, Flocci, Blue Innovations, The Urban Jungle Project for planters, benches, facade systems), and Shared Indoor Spaces (Gispen, Uberdutch, Neil David for circular furniture and interior objects). Notable design-led engagements include Studio Libeskind for a 12m tower at the Venice Architecture Biennale. The company also serves as its own product provider, selling machines, materials, and ATP subsystems alongside finished printed products.

The business model is project-based co-creation: customers engage 10XL directly (no distribution intermediaries) through a seven-step process from sketch to series production, with each project assigned a dedicated print line. Revenue is generated from engineering, prototyping, and series production services; pricing is bespoke and not publicly disclosed. The company leverages Dutch and EU innovation subsidies (MIT HB, MIT R&D, EU Horizon, SBIR, SDIR, EKOO, CKP, WBSO) to lower customer entry cost. Ownership is private, founder/management-led by General Director Jan Schrama and Technical Director Joep Grapperhaus, with no external investors or funding rounds disclosed.

Core offering

10XL develops and produces large-format 3D printed products using circular materials (recycled and biobased) and self-developed custom-built printing machines. Through a co-creation process with partners, they realize bridges, boats, furniture, and interior objects — from initial idea and prototype through validation to series production. Production is delivered via dedicated print lines for each project, supported by modular machine architecture, in-house finishing, assembly, and packaging.

Product overview

10XL is a large-format additive manufacturing company offering an integrated platform combining custom-built 3D printing machines (A1, A2, A3, AS1, AT1) with circular materials (rPVDF GF30, rPP GF30, biobased composites) to produce large-scale functional products. The company's product portfolio spans three core market verticals: Bridges (3D printed bridge decks and infrastructure), Shared Outdoor Spaces (street furniture, planters, facade systems), and Shared Indoor Spaces (furniture, interior objects). Services cover the full lifecycle from co-creation concept development and prototype validation through dedicated print line setup to series production, with modular and scalable production capacity of 1000+ products per year per line. The company emphasizes circular economy principles with materials from post-consumer waste and proven reusability up to 8 cycles without functionality loss.
