We founded our 3D printing startup in December 2021 with the goal of bringing our own 3D printer to market. However, after conducting market research and speaking with customers and investors, we realized that we could help more people more easily by focusing on software. We developed a testing tool that allowed for local sectioning of printouts, and through customer testing in the spring of 2022, we refined a setup method that speeds up 3D printing by up to 40% without sacrificing print quality. As currently the only ones in the world with this new 3D printing method, we gained support from established 3D printing companies and received positive feedback from customers. With the launch of the SelfSlice product, we’re excited to enter the market and continue exploring the possibilities of optimizing and improving 3D printing.
