The platform streamlines projects from design to production.
Hamburg-based DeepTech startup named 3Dock has introduced a groundbreaking 3D printing platform guided by the ‘Infrastructure as a Service’ (IaaS) approach. The main goal is to enable businesses—regardless of their in-house expertise—to gain straightforward access to advanced printing technologies like FDM, SLA, and SLS. By opting for a flexible subscription model, the service eliminates the need for significant capital investments in equipment and personnel. This approach especially benefits small and medium-sized enterprises looking for rapid prototyping or short-run production without having to maintain their own 3D printing facilities.
This newly launched platform is designed to streamline projects and support teams at every stage of the process, from conceptual design to final production. Companies can upload their CAD files, select suitable materials, and monitor their print jobs in real time. Beyond these core features, optional services such as design consulting and engineering support are also available. Rather than merely acting as a technology provider, 3Dock positions itself as a strategic partner, assisting businesses in exploring innovative product development pathways.
What makes this concept particularly noteworthy is its move away from isolated solutions toward an integrated service, addressing the evolving demands of modern industries. As lean processes and responsive supply chains become increasingly critical, 3Dock delivers a scalable solution that meets the needs of various sectors. By combining digital workflows, expert engineering assistance, and advanced printing methods, the platform fosters faster innovation cycles. In doing so, it lowers barriers to entry for additive manufacturing, allowing companies to pursue new ideas without tying up substantial capital.
