Create it REAL serves two different markets:
Firstly, 3D Printer manufacturers worldwide, providing dedicated control systems, electronics, 3D print processors, and slicing technology (the software required for preparing the 3D print).
Secondly, ambitious vertical industries who wants to disrupt their business with 3D printing, taking full advantage of:
– Mass customization
– Digitalization of production workflow
– High speed printing
– Protecting intellectual property rights of the printed objects with secure printing.
Create it REAL CEO, Jeremie Pierre Gay says: “We see a significant increase in companies from different industries, who approach us, because they have realized that they can disrupt their business with 3D Printing, creating new applications. But they just do not know how to apply the technology – and how to integrate it into their existing business model. This is where we can help; applying 3D printing and pushing the limits of the technology is what we do; and this create significant value for those companies who then can go on to disrupt their market. We have the expertise and all the technology bricks to provide a complete offering for both 3D Printer manufacturers and specific vertical industries. With this investment we are going to expand our global presence and create key partnerships to boost the 3D printing adoption”.
Jesper Jespersen, Partner at Investo Capital says: ”We already knew that 3D Printing has a great potential, but Create it REAL is now proving that this technology can be applied into a wide range of vertical markets, digitalizing the production process and creating new lucrative business models – for example within the healthcare sector. With this additional funding the company can accelerate the market penetration”
