The technology from 3dnextech
LAS VEGAS, NV, USA, January 3, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ – 3dnextech is using its unique technology to redesign the plastic manufacturing process. By enabling the production of high-performance and functional plastic components using 3D printing, the company offers a more efficient and sustainable production model, including the potential for digitalized logistics. The innovation lies in a chemical-physical process that makes plastic malleable and thus enables high-quality surfaces and durability at an industrial level.
As part of the Italian Pavilion at CES 2025, organized by the Italian Trade Agency (ITA), 3dnextech will present its solutions together with 45 other startups. The company is set for growth after securing €1.5 million in funding last year and is preparing for an even larger capital increase earlier this year.
“Our journey has resulted in a technology capable of transforming an entire production chain by addressing real industrial needs,” said Andrea Arienti, founder and CEO of 3dnextech. “Presenting Italian innovations at CES is a significant milestone and an opportunity to engage with the global market during this crucial period of growth.”
The technology
Additive manufacturing often has problems with subpar mechanical and functional performance due to irregular surfaces and suboptimal microstructures. These issues lead to reduced structural integrity, durability and industrial applicability, limiting the potential of 3D printing in high-performance sectors.
3dnextech's proprietary process addresses these challenges by realigning polymer chains to create smooth, durable and aesthetically refined surfaces. This innovation improves both product quality and the production process and enables the local, needs-based production of components, comparable to injection molded parts.
The company's flagship product, 3DFinisher, complements 3D printers by eliminating surface defects and creating ready-to-use components. At CES 2025, 3dnextech will unveil an evolution of this technology that enables customizable surface textures and patterns without mechanical processing.
With this innovation, 3dnextech expands its reach beyond 3D printing to traditionally manufactured plastics, opening up access to a much larger, albeit gradually growing, market. In addition, the technology stands out for its unique ability to process plastic materials near room temperature, making it the only device on the market capable of changing the surface color and texture of bioplastics. With this capability, 3dnextech positions itself as a leading provider of sustainable, versatile solutions for industries seeking expanded customization options while adhering to environmentally friendly practices.
A journey of growth
3dnextech was founded as a spin-off from Sant'Anna School and its early growth was supported by an angel investor, followed by strategic investments from A11 Venture and Cassa Depositi e Prestiti through the Rilancio Fund. At the beginning of 2024, the company secured financing of 1.5 million euros led by EUREKA! Venture SGR and RoboIT accelerate technology development and market expansion. The startup was later named one of StartupItalia's 100 most innovative companies in 2024.
2025: A new round of investments
3dnextech is closing a new round of financing, scheduled to close in the first quarter of 2025. The funds will support the expansion of the team, particularly in the areas of research and development, sales and marketing, as well as the launch of new products and the strengthening of international partnerships. This ambitious plan aims to consolidate the company's position as a leading provider of advanced digital manufacturing solutions.
