When we covered Prodways, the newest French 3D printer manufacturer (made new via acquisition), there weren’t any videos about the company in English. I had to take my, already weak, Spanish skills and try to understand the French. Certain words like communique and très bon are easy to grasp, but there are other words that I just couldn’t make out. Finally, this week, the company uploaded an interview with the inventor of the “first 3D printer in Europe”, in which he goes into a bit more detail about their proprietary process.
Also of interest is Prodways’ jarring death metal advertisement for their presence at Euromold, which is definitely the best commercial I’ve seen by one of these 3D printing companies ever:
A big thank-you to @Michael Molitch-Hou of @3D Printing Industry (3DPI) for a good follow-up on ProDWays after his earlier efforts in attempting to get the message across to 3DPI’s readership. So the French does command good English and the message per the video clip is loud and clear : ‘The French are coming’ into the arena of 3D printing business. Wonder if Rachel Park will cover what the Dutch and the Germans are quietly up to at Euromold …
This company is still not discovered by the 3D print community. Its a great investment. You can buy it on the NYSE Euronext Paris. Ticker GOE (GOE.PA in finance.yahoo.com)
GOE is Groupe Gorge which bought Prodways.
