Offline 3D Printing Stores Poised to Boom? Creality Expands Physical Presence in Shenzhen

In September 2025, Panda3dp.com reported that Creality had already taken steps toward offline expansion as early as 2023, when it opened a 3D Printing Experience Center in Fangda City, Shenzhen’s Nanshan District. Meanwhile, preparations are underway for a 600 m² global flagship store at Bay Area Eye in Bao’an District—an iconic cultural complex in the Greater Bay Area.

Positioned as the world’s largest 3D printing experience store, this upcoming flagship will combine brand showcase, hands-on product experience, and educational outreach. It is also expected to serve as a model for Creality’s future global retail strategy.

Panda3dp.com noted that consumer 3D printing is now following a trajectory similar to Xiaomi’s early strategy—building momentum online before moving offline to strengthen customer engagement and enhance the user experience.

As one of the world’s leading consumer 3D printer manufacturers, Creality offers a diverse product portfolio that includes FDM and LCD resin 3D printers, 3D scanners, and laser engravers. By creating an ecosystem centered on creativity and maker culture, the company is transforming 3D printing into an engaging, interactive experience. This is exactly what many shopping malls and commercial hubs seek today—immersive attractions that drive traffic and engagement.

Looking ahead, Panda3dp.com revealed potential plans to collaborate with offline stores to develop 3D printing experience ecosystems, connecting users, education, and creative applications in physical spaces.

In addition, Panda3dp.com announced that its comprehensive industry directory, “China 3D Printing Companies Guide — Over 2,000 Enterprises Included” (available at Panda3dp.com 3D Printing Directory), will soon add a dedicated section for 3D printing offline experience and retail stores nationwide, allowing store owners to submit their listings for inclusion.
