3DNextech è una startup innovativa, specializzata nello sviluppo di tecnologie e prodotti per la manifattura additiva e la stampa 3D. 3DNextech ha scelto di avere sede in Italia, dove si svolgano tutte le fasi di ricerca, progettazione e produzione. La nostra missione è dare un contributo importante alla nuova rivoluzione tecnologica che cambierà il concetto di “produzione di massa” con quello di “personalizzazione di massa”. Il primo prodotto che abbiamo lanciato è il 3DFinisher, che realizza la nobilitazione di oggetti in ABS, ASA e acetato di cellulosa in modo veloce e affidabile. Con questo dispositivo, miriamo a ottimizzare le fasi di post-produzione della stampa 3D e di altri processi di fabbricazione. Lottima finitura fornita dal 3DFinisher rende gli oggetti impermeabili, lisci, più resistenti, lavabili e verniciabili. Queste proprietà aprono nuove possibilità di applicazione della stampa 3D in diversi settori industriali. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 3DNextech is an innovative startup, specialized in the development of technologies and products for additive manufacturing and 3D printing. 3DNextech chose to be based in Italy, where all the phases of research, design and production take place.
