If you visited the 3Dnatives website recently, you may have noticed a significant visual change. With great excitement, 3Dnatives has introduced a new brand identity that celebrates its 12-year journey in the 3D printing sector and reflects how much the industry has evolved. Founded in 2014 when the field was still nascent—with milestones such as the first 3D printed part on the International Space Station and the emergence of key technologies—the website’s refresh signifies both its growth and commitment to stay at the forefront of the 3D printing conversation.
Over the years, 3Dnatives has grown alongside the industry, adapting to a landscape that has expanded from a few pioneering makers to an intricate network that now encompasses a market worth over $24 billion. Industrial users have increasingly turned to additive manufacturing (AM) not just for prototyping, but as a viable production method. Likewise, the desktop sector has seen a resurgence as machines become more accessible and high-quality.
The rebranding effort was meant to embody the evolution of the industry and establish 3Dnatives as a definitive source for developments in 3D printing. The new logo incorporates a "voxel"—the three-dimensional counterpart to a pixel—to symbolize precision. The updated color palette features a more vibrant shade of red, representing the energy and speed inherent in today’s 3D printing advancements.
As 3Dnatives steps boldly into this new chapter, it continues to support its large community of users, OEMs, and industry leaders, ensuring that it remains an invaluable resource as the field of 3D printing continues to innovate and mature. Feedback from the community is welcomed as the platform embarks on this exciting journey forward.
