The additive manufacturing market is constantly changing. This can be shown by the fact that one of the most prominent trends in recent years includes the merging of organizations and the signing of collaboration agreements and even the purchase of certain companies. For example, just a few weeks ago, Spanish company Print&Go announced the acquisition of Astroprint, a cloud-based 3D printing platform known for its open-source nature and ease of use. This merger of two pioneering companies dedicated to fostering innovation is expected to be a turning point in the industry. In fact, they even hope to keep the service free, enhancing the user experience and expanding the accessibility of 3D printing technologies to a global audience.
Based in Lleida, Print&Go is a young company dedicated to the development of multi-brand and multi-device solutions focused on monitoring and optimizing the 3D printing flow. Its software facilitates production planning by analyzing manufacturing costs and traceability, in addition to inventory control, optimizing the use of materials and production times. For its part, the accessible and open Astroprint platform is designed to help with the management of 3D printers and additive manufacturing jobs. With this acquisition, the companies promise to meet the diverse needs of 3D printing users. These range from solo creators and hobbyists to large-scale printer farms and industrial companies.
