Creality Officially Launches 3D Printing Service Center, Covering 150,000 Square Meters with 2,000+ Devices

△ Creality 3D Printing Service Center

According to a Creality representative, the service center is based on the "Creality Cloud" platform and primarily caters to industrial clients for prototype production. It is distinct from the emerging "3D printing farms" and will not impact their development.

It is reported that the Creality 3D Printing Service Center spans 150,000 square meters and houses over 2,000 various 3D printers, employing a range of technologies including fused deposition modeling (FDM), stereolithography (SLA), nylon, and metal printing. The center also offers rapid quotations within 30 minutes, ensuring an efficient and convenient service experience for clients.

In Panda3dp.com's view, Creality, which sells millions of 3D printers annually and offers products like 3D scanners and laser engravers, has amassed millions of users worldwide. These users, while typically requiring consumer-grade plastic and resin components produced via FDM and SLA, may also have a demand for parts made from nylon, metal, and other materials. Leveraging its extensive user base, Creality’s entry into 3D printing services presents an advantage over many specialized service providers, especially considering that over 80% of Creality's users are overseas.
