We have done a short interview with all of them so that you can find out what each company does and learn first-hand about the new developments they have for this year 2022.

▶︎HTA3D

HTA3D was born in 2014 in a garage. Our intention was to dedicate ourselves to providing 3D printing services, but we saw that at that time the kits for 3D printers had many design flaws and there was no model on the market that was good enough for us, so we assembled several P3Steels by purchasing the components separately.

At that time, volume discounts were very high, so we decided to set up our own eBay store to get the spare parts at a better price and have another source of income.
The eBay store grew rapidly with more and more spare parts and packs of printed parts for DIY printer models, and in the meantime we were perfecting our P3Steel model, until in 2016 we were able to publish it together with the creation of our own website: hta3d.com. At that time we had already moved to a premises of about 60 square meters.

The “P3Steel by HTA3D” was a huge sales success, and we gradually expanded our catalogue with more components, filament and the P3Steel dual.
During that period we were very short of space, until in 2019 we were able to move to a much larger premises, in this case almost 300 square meters dedicated to 3D printing. Here we were able to create the 3Dsteel and 3DSteel V2 (our most advanced model). In addition to continuing to expand our catalogue.

What does HTA3D do?

We like to think that our company has “4 pillars”:

• 3D Printers and Kits.
• Components and spare parts.
• Filament.
• 3D printing service.

We believe that these four facets of our company feed back into each other, for example, our 3D printing service is one of the most economical on the market today, many companies trust us for the production of final printed parts, and this is thanks to, among other things:

• Our 3DSteel V2 kit, which offers us great reliability in 3D printing, low maintenance costs, and therefore very controlled operating costs.
• We have very high quality filaments, such as Winkle material, with very stable parameters, giving the same excellent result year after year. If we take a newly produced piece today and compare it with one made a year ago, there are hardly any differences in the finish, shine, and color tone. It is very common with other manufacturers to find differences in the color and properties of the material from one batch to another, this is not acceptable at a professional level.

Just as the 3D printing service is supported by the other pillars, this also occurs in reverse, with each of the printers we have in the workshop, we have printed thousands of hours, at times we print 24 hours 7 days a week, this provides us with the ideal test bench for our kits and components, we have printers that retain power supplies, motors, and other components since 2014.

What’s new in HTA3D for 2022?

2022 is shaping up to be a year full of challenges. We can’t say too much about what’s to come as it depends on many factors, some beyond our control, and sometimes our projects take more than a year to become a reality. But I can say that we are working on issues related to larger format 3D printers, CoreXY and Hbot kinematics, as well as other firmwares such as Klipper and RRF. This is one of the lines that we have clearest in the near future.

▶︎ CUTICUTER

What does Cuticuter do?
We are dedicated to 3D printing, cookie cutters and lamps. We started in a room at home in 2017 with two printers and now we have a 200-square-meter premises, where we have 30 printers.
What’s new in Cuticuter for 2022?
We want to continue expanding our line of business by creating large-format posters and figures.

▶︎IMPRESORAS3D.COM

Impresoras3D.com was born in late 2012 and early 2013 as a blog for communication on the 3D printing niche. As a result, we gradually listened to our readers, who eventually became customers, and we added 3D printing services, training and sales of 3D printing products to our website. Over the years, the catalogue grew and we are currently one of the main companies selling 3D printing products in Spain and Portugal.

What does Printers3d.com do?

Printers3d.com is one of the leading companies selling products and services related to 3D printing in Spain, as well as one of the oldest companies in the sector.

What’s new in printers3d.com for 2022?

We recently launched i3D Academy, our 3D printing courses section with the best experts in the sector. In 2022 we will expand the catalogue of these courses so that anyone looking for training in 3D printing has a place to train and learn at i3D Academy.

▶︎PRINT AND FREAK

What does Prink and Freak do?
Our store comprises two brands: Jupiter Guadalajara, specializing in the sale of board games, funkos, t-shirts and miniatures such as Warhammer; and Print and Freak, dedicated to 3D printing services and filament sales.
We started 5 years ago, on December 13, 2016, with the Print brand covering everything in a “tiny” store in the center of Guadalajara. Little by little we grew, bringing in new products, changing locations and finally partnering with the Jupiter franchise and moving to the current location.

What’s new in Print and Freak for 2022?
Continue growing, improving the current store and promoting the entire 3D service through board games and scenery for wargames and role-playing games, making the hobby and the game on our tables more attractive.
