Mi Pequeña Fábrica

What Mi Pequeña Fábrica does

Mi Pequeña Fábrica (legal entity Imaginación Azul SL, also trading as MPF3D) is a Spain-based custom 3D printing manufacturer founded in 2017 and headquartered in Carbajosa de la Sagrada, Salamanca. The company designs and produces personalized trophies, medals, commemorative plaques, event merchandise (lanyards, keychains, tickets, branded items), and related consumer gifting products such as wedding favors, all on a made-to-order basis using FDM 3D printing technology with PLA biodegradable filament sourced from Spanish supplier Winkle. It operates an installed base of more than 450 3D printers running 24 hours per day, supplemented by resin printing and sublimation capabilities added under the 2023–2025 FEDER/ICECYL-funded expansion projects ('Proyecto Sublime').

Its go-to-market is direct-to-customer and digital: all sales originate via the website contact form, email, phone, or WhatsApp, with no physical retail; five-language international storefronts (EN, FR, PT, DE, IT) extend reach beyond Spain. Pricing is custom quote-based per project (no minimum order), with free shipping across Spain. The company's primary customer segment is sports events and federations, where it supplies trophies and medals for properties including Kings League, Grand Prix del Verano, Sevilla FC, and Copa del Rey, with secondary segments in e-sports (Sin Frenos League, C1b3rWall), corporate gifting, and pet/animal competitions.

Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the company is privately held under Imaginación Azul SL (no institutional investors identified) and has funded capacity expansion and internationalization through non-dilutive European and regional government grants (FEDER, ICECYL, ICEX-Next) rather than equity capital. It is operationally a 19-employee specialist manufacturer positioned as a national reference for 3D-printed trophy and medal personalization in Spain, with early international commercial signals in Europe and the Middle East.
