Spain’s newest 3D printing shop — RePro3D — may be Valencia’s first. RePro3D offers a full selection of 3D printing and rapid prototyping services in addition to carrying a large selection of 3D printers, 3D scanners and filaments.
For a new 3D printing company they certainly seem to be wearing a lot of 3D printed hats. In order to make it easier for their customers, they have split their web presence into two separate websites. 3Dprintingservices.eu is where you go to hire them for their 3D printing and 3D design services.
RePro3D says that they can 3D print in just about any material available, including ABS, PLA, PET, wood, steel, gold, silver, titanium, biocompatible materials and they can even 3D print in full colour. If you don’t have a model for them to print, they also offer 3D design services and can take your idea and make it for you.
Recently RePro3D was contracted to 3D print the trophy for the winner of the Formula 1 2014 Grand Prix in both Germany and England. They’ve also been contracted to 3D print the mock-up of the latest insane skyscraper that is going to be erected in Abu Dhabi, and they also printed props for a new film called X-Mile. In addition to rapid prototyping, they can also 3D print prostheses, medical implants and biocompatible meshes.
If you’re looking to purchase a 3D printer or you already have one and need filament, you can visit their new 3Dprintshop.com website and choose from the dozen or so printers that they have available. They sell several DaVinci 3D printer models, BeeTheFirst 3D printers, UP! 3D printers and several RepRap kits. They are also an official Stratasys dealer and offer their Objet30 series for sale.
As Spain’s third largest city, Valencia isn’t exactly a small town. With almost a million residents there are plenty of people to turn onto 3D printing. Opening a new business, especially in an emergent industry, is always a risky proposition. But considering some of the high profile jobs that they’ve already gotten despite being a fairly new start-up, RePro3D seem to be doing just fine.
