Since 2020 3DSprinted is on the market with 3D printing products to offer tailor-made promotional solutions for each specific requirement. The interest in this technology by Emilio Destratis, owner of 3DSprinted, began about ten years ago with the purchase of the first machines and the testing of the potential offered, it developed over time with the acquisition of new instruments (today there are 14 machines) and the expansion of the workshop, leading to an all-round commercial offer: the identification of communication needs, creation of the project, prototype creation and production. Destratis says, “We focus on our customers' needs so that we can understand and meet their demands, providing support in the modelling, prototyping and production of 3D printed parts, customised parts, gadgets, engineering prototypes - from the simplest to the most complex - and tailor-made solutions for small, medium and large companies”.

The opportunities offered by this technology are more extensive than ever, while the limitations on creativity are reduced to a minimum. There are basically two processing systems possible in 3D printing: the additive system that uses a plastic filament (materials can vary to create various aesthetic and textural solutions) melted by extrusion to create objects with tenth-of-a-millimetre definition; the Sla (stereolithography) system that uses a tray with light-curing resin allowing even more detailed processing (ideal for creating miniatures), but requiring an additional finishing stage.

Destratis underlines, “the advantage of 3D printing in advertising is that one does not have to depend on pre-packaged objects to be personalised, but can design the object from scratch, which can be personalised in all respects, or can be further enhanced”. Enhancements that can span any field, even the most technological, as demonstrated by the Amelie system (to which a website is also dedicated). It is a wine hand/tray that can recognise the bottle thanks to its sensors and thus recount the history of the wine, providing information about the grapes, the winery and production techniques.

Also worth mentioning is the “Che palle di Natale!” project: these are 3D balls to be placed on the Christmas tree (but also to be kept on the bedside table using the stand provided), which, when lit up, show the image engraved on the surface using the lithophane technique.
