Cooperation offer
Explore the services we offer to elevate your AM business.
01.
Business Development Support
The scenario is as follows:
1. You have a product that qualifies as AM and want to reach other AM companies in the industry—manufacturers, distributors, and service providers.
2. But either you don’t know how to do it, or you’ve tried and hit a wall.
3. So you come to us.
4. We analyze your product and assess whether you have a real chance of success in your target market, or if something needs to be adjusted—whether it requires a business or marketing repositioning.
5. If we agree on the approach, we start working together.
Our collaboration works like this:
Using our network of contacts, we identify companies and key people who, in our opinion, might be interested in working with you. We then set up a meeting with them. If you’d like, we can participate in the meeting as well (so far, we’ve always done so). We charge for meetings and provided contacts. We don’t charge based on sales success, because that’s not within our control.
We are not a trading company – we are not a distributor.
We are your guide to the point of sale.
We establish contacts on your behalf, arrange meetings, and help facilitate negotiations (especially when they reach a deadlock).
We collaborate only with select companies and support only truly interesting products.
02.
Contact Management
The scenario is as follows:
1. You run a company operating in AM or any other market sector. You need to contact a specific AM company or a group of companies based on their activity or geographical region.
2. But you don’t know these companies or their key contacts. Maybe you have little to no knowledge about the market and industry at all.
3. So you come to us.
4. Together, we identify the companies and key contacts. We figure out how to reach them and consult with you on whether it’s even worth engaging with them—because we might already know if they don’t pay or have a bad reputation.
5. If we agree on the approach, we start working together.
Our collaboration works like this:
We design the communication strategy and help you reach the right people. Sometimes, a single video call or email from our side is enough; other times, it requires more effort. It all depends on who you are, what you have, and what you want to achieve. Maybe you even want to sell your business—we handle that too.
We charge either per task or as a percentage (in cases of business or major assets sales).
We establish contacts on your behalf, arrange meetings, and help facilitate negotiations (especially when they reach a deadlock).
We collaborate only with select companies and support only truly interesting products.
03.
Marketing & PR Consulting
If you’ve been reading our articles and analyses, you know you can honestly say we know a thing or two about the AM market and business. The key to success isn’t just over a decade spent in this industry, but also the many years before that in larger, more developed markets (like printing, advertising, or IT).
This gives a much broader perspective on business, and we don’t approach it with tunnel vision.
We are always looking for solutions outside of the box, heading in directions that no one has ventured before. And that’s what marketing is all about, isn’t it?
So far, our clients have used the following services:
1. LinkedIn communication, including a publishing plan for posts and articles.
2. Creating promotional articles or content describing the company and its offerings.
3. Website optimization, both in terms of content and layout (we can build websites as well).
4. Developing communication strategies for new products or tackling complex challenges.
5. Creating marketing slogans and claims.
We charge per task or, in the case of a long-term partnership, on a monthly basis.
We collaborate only with select companies and support only truly interesting products.
We cooperated with:
Advertising offer
There are many ways we can collaborate. With over 20 years of experience in marketing and sales, and more than 10 years in additive manufacturing, we can quickly and effectively improve your business in the areas of communication and branding. Your story can definitely be told in an even better and more engaging way.
Post on LinkedIn
Free of charge (but you owe us a favour)
So, you have some interesting news you’d like to share with the AM world. Our reach on LinkedIn isn’t record-breaking, but the quality of our network is extremely high. If you want your message to reach all the key people in the global AM industry, publishing it through our channels will ensure that happens.
Wondering how much you’ll pay for this? You won’t pay anything. But there are two conditions: we’ll only publish it if we think it’s valuable or just plain interesting. Secondly, you’ll owe us a reasonable favor. If we call it in and you refuse, we simply won’t work together again. And we won’t be the ones regretting it.
Post on The 3D Printing Journal
It’s also free, but if you get picky, we’ll charge you €250
You send us a press release, and if we find it interesting, we publish it in our newsletter. But we do it our way – we don’t discuss it with anyone and don’t make any „political” edits.
If you can’t accept that, there are two options:
1. We don’t publish it at all (also in the future).
2. It costs €250, and the text is marked as sponsored (people love reading those!)
We encourage you to approach cooperation sensibly – then it will be long and satisfying.

You become an official partner of The 3D Printing Journal Newsletter. Your logo will be featured in the website header and appear in the header of every email sent to subscribers.
We allow a maximum of three partners. Each must operate in a different area of the AM business, meaning they cannot be direct competitors to each other.
