We are incredibly excited to officially share the <strong>new 3Dnatives brand identity<\/strong> with you. While it is a big visual change, this update is really about celebrating our 12-year journey together and charting how much <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/what-is-additive-manufacturing\/\">3D printing<\/a> has evolved. For those of you who have been reading our articles since the early days, we are sure you can spot the difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When 3Dnatives was founded back in <strong>2014<\/strong>, big things were happening in the industry. The first 3D printed part was fabricated aboard the International Space Station, significant progress was made in 3D printing organs, the Formlabs Form 1+ launched, and key laser sintering patents expired. The additive manufacturing landscape was developing rapidly on two fronts: the maker scene was becoming increasingly powerful, and industrial players were leveraging high-end systems for prototyping and tooling. The 2014 Wohlers Report revealed that the market had grown by a whopping 34.9% the past year, with the industry value exceeding $3 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_71012\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71012\" class=\"size-full wp-image-71012\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/3dnatives-rebrand.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/3dnatives-rebrand.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/3dnatives-rebrand-600x343.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/3dnatives-rebrand-160x91.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-71012\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The 3Dnatives logo evolution<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, the market has matured into a sector worth over $24 billion, with more industrial users turning to AM as a production method and more creators joining the scene. <strong>We\u2019ve also noticed a distinct shift in the last few years. Instead of the focus being largely on what the machines can do, we\u2019re further exploring how to apply them.<\/strong> This pivot is especially evident at trade shows, where some companies skip displaying hardware altogether to focus on applications. Essentially, there\u2019s been a growing focus on specialized industrial applications and end-use parts. At the same time, the desktop sector is witnessing a massive second peak, as maker-friendly machines reach unprecedented levels of quality and accessibility.<\/span><\/p><div class=\"dnati-inside-article-leaderboard dnati-entity-placement\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"dnati-1016006732\"><div id=\"dnati-2558879405\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/3dnatives-lab-giveaway-win-a-3d-printer\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"LB (EN)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/06\/LB-EN.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"850\" height=\"150\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All along, 3Dnatives has been documenting this evolution. As the industry developed, 3Dnatives grew alongside it, expanding into five languages and reaching over 1.3 million monthly unique visitors. The new brand identity aims to mirror the precision and dynamism of the market it covers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;Twelve years ago, our goal was simply to demystify new technology for everyone,&#8221;<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> says Lucia Contreras, Creative Director at 3Dnatives.<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8220;Today, the industry has become incredibly sophisticated.

We\u2019ve introduced a <strong>&#8216;voxel,<\/strong>&#8216; which is the 3D version of a pixel, to represent precision and dynamism. Like a period at the end of \u201c3Dnatives,\u201d the point emphasizes our publication as a definitive source for 3D printing. We\u2019re also brightening our <strong>signature red<\/strong> to a more vibrant shade, capturing the speed and energy of the industry today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With this new look and our expanded AI-powered tools, we\u2019re ready to help users of the technology, OEMs, and industry leaders navigate the next chapter of production.
