Paper-based 3D printing breathes new life and customers into an established Italian reprographics firm
Innovation is critical in any business in order to gain and maintain
a competitive advantage. But the ability to offer unique products and
services that generate new sources of revenue is especially important
in today’s reprographics industry.
That’s why, after 20 years offering 2D printing and binding products
and services, Italian reprographics firm, Digicopy, decided to expand
into the fast-growth 3D printing industry.
“We strongly believe in innovation,” said Eugenio Costa, responsible
for Marketing and Development at Digicopy. “We believe 3D printing
will enable us to offer entirely new products and services to an
expanded customer base and establish ourselves as a market leader.”
Digicopy turned to Mcor Technologies, maker of the world’s only
desktop paper-based 3D printers. “We selected Mcor 3D printers
because of their professional quality, superior colour capabilities
and eco- and office-friendliness compared to other 3D printers,”
said Eugenio.

In fact, Digicopy became an Mcor Technologies Certified Reseller and not
only sells Mcor 3D printers, they also offer full-service 3D printing and
scanning services and even enable their customers to 3D print objects
themselves right in the store. “We mainly 3D print models developed by
university students for their thesis work – 1,000 students 3D printing a
variety of models last month alone - as well as prototypes for designers
and stylists, including some famous fashion firms,“ said Eugenio.
Digicopy is expanding. They are now an established group under
the name Ethesis srl, running four shops located near each of three
Universities in Milan, Cattolica, Bicocca, Statale, and a production
centre, close to Bicocca University, in Viale Sarca 173.
Said Eugenio, “All of our customers really appreciate the affordable
price and full, realistic colour of Mcor’s cutting-edge 3D printing
technology. It’s really helped our business.”
