Online commerce is an area that has grown very quickly in recent years, in part due to the pandemic. If you consider that, according to Statista, there are around 523 million e-commerce users in Europe alone, then it comes as little surprise that global online sales rose from $1.3 billion to $8.15 billion between 2014 and 2026. But what might the future of online commerce look like? This is a question that Flowetry has probably also grappled with, because here they have made it their mission to use additive manufacturing to create a customized online shopping experience. However, to better understand the entire background of this and to what extent additive manufacturing is now being used at Flowetry, we sat down with Sönke Hünkemeier for an interview. The founder of Flowetry gives us a better understanding of the ‘no-code’ tool for configuring 3D products for businesses.
