IMES3D: Expert Support for Industry-Level 3D Printing

29th January 202618th December 2025 by Steven

SUPPORTING BUSINESSES WITH 3D PRINTING EXPERTISE

IMES3D is a technical service bureau specializing in industry-level 3D printing, located near Barcelona. With over 60 UltiMaker 3D printers and a decade of experience, IMES3D supports a diverse range of industries, including automotive, medical, food and beverage, and military. They offer comprehensive services, from helping new customers select and set up printers to providing expert support for existing users.

DESIGNING, AND PRINTING WITH ADVANCED MATERIALS

IMES3D’s team of skilled engineers and designers assist clients in identifying practical applications and creating 3D models suitable for printing. They also handle large volume orders and tight deadlines, using advanced materials like carbon-fiber reinforced nylon and FDA-approved materials for specific industry needs. Their goal is to make 3D printing accessible and ensure a smooth transition for businesses adopting this transformative technology.

2 DAYS OF PURE CONTENT CREATION

For this project, we dedicated two full days to video and photography shoots. In addition to the main story, we conducted interviews and captured b-roll for three additional focused videos and a teaser to announce the case. Accompanied by an article, this comprehensive campaign included assets for promotion and supplementary information for the coming months.

UltiMaker S8 Keynote

A new fast industrial 3D printer from UltiMaker

The UltiMaker S8 is the new big brother of the UltiMaker S7. A powerful 3D printer that can print with a large range of industrial-grade materials. The printer has various upgrades from the S7. The new Cheetah board enables the printer to be up to 4 times faster, which is a huge feat.

Not just a new printer

The printer also comes with various other product launches. To facilitate the new high speed, two new printcores were launched. The AA+ and CC+ high speed printcores. They also launched a new material, Nylon CF slide. This carbonfibre reinforced material is extremely strong, but also wear resistant. Ideal for parts that endure lot’s of wear like gears or sliders.

But also Digital Factory has a huge update, making the UltiMaker ecosystem even more interesting for professional use. Users are now able to store files in the cloud, and directly slice them online. So you can manage a large printfleet of printers, files and start prints all in your browser.

A keynote video to present all new products

UltiMaker asked STMEDIA to produce a keynote video to present the new products.

Here we chose to have their CEO present the whole video and glue all segments together. Instead of having trained presenters, we chose to have the people who worked on this projects to present their work. While they did a great job, it’s really powerful to see how genuinely proud they were about the products they talked about. This gives the video a very authentic feel.

The whole video was shot in only three days, while we had two film locations all lit up and prepared. This sped up production drastically.

In the end, this was a project about a very interesting topic, where we delivered quality in a very efficiënt manner.

Royal Netherlands Navy: On-Demand spare parts anywhere

10th February 202624th November 2024 by Steven

PRINTING ON-DEMAND ANYWHERE

The Royal Netherlands Navy has adopted 3D printing as a solution to the challenge of maintaining a reliable supply of spare parts for their ships. By equipping each ship with UltiMaker 3D printers and a variety of materials, the Navy is able to produce spare parts on-demand and locally, reducing the need for long lead times and complex supply chains.

PRINTING WITH ADVANCED MATERIALS

The Royal Netherlands Navy is utilizing a range of materials in their 3D printing operations, including ABS, PETG, and composite carbon fiber. PETG is selected for its resistance to extreme temperature, wear, chemicals, and water and moisture absorption, making it ideal for maritime applications. The Navy’s use of composite carbon fiber allows for the production of lightweight yet strong parts, reducing the weight of the ships and improving their performance. By investing in these advanced materials, the Navy is ensuring that their 3D printed parts are durable and reliable, even in the harsh conditions of the open ocean.

The adoption of 3D printing is allowing the Navy to maintain operational readiness and efficiency, even in remote locations, and is a significant development that has the potential to revolutionize the way they maintain and operate their fleet.

Trinckle: explaining fixturemate’s essentials

3rd February 202624th November 2024 by Steven

THE ESSENCE OF FIXTUREMATE

Fixturemate is a very innovative software solution that makes it easy to configure and generate fixture designs for specific parts on a computer. These 3D designs can then be printed and used. As the software is quite new and revolutionary, trinckle was looking for an explainer movie on their solution.

A ONE MINUTE PITCH

As people are always busy, we needed a video that wouldn’t take long. It needs to be clear, and direct. Show the problem. Show the solution. And show the result. This is why we chose the most simple setup we could think of, a blank studio. The full attention should go to the part, the fixture design, and the fixture’s benefit to the user.

A TOP DOWN VIEW

In order to show both the object, fixtures but also the software, we created a shot from above. This way it was easy to have hands in the scene, while showing objects and the laptop screen. For this to work we created a custom 3D printed fixture for the camera. This gave us slightly more flexibility in micro adjustments than parts that we could purchase. Also, it meant we didn’t have to wait for the order to arrive.

3D PRINTED PARTS AND FIXTURES

We wanted to show various parts. Two industrial assembly parts and a consumer part. The fixtures are typical fixtures for assembly and maintenance. The parts are fictional and were purpose-designed. The fixtures were created using their software. Everything was printed and painted for a convincing look.

KRONES: Optimizing parts and on-demand spares for customers using 3D printing

10th February 20262nd October 2024 by Steven

Krones: complete food and beverage production lines

Every day, millions of glass bottles, cans and PET containers run through a Krones line. Krones is a leading manufacturer of complete systems for breweries, beverage bottlers and food producers. Its production lines fill packages, add labels, and perform quality control on the products. As a global market player in the beverage and packaging industry, Krones provides comprehensive solutions that customers, such as Coca-Cola and Heineken, rely on heavily.

3D printing parts and spares

To help customers get even more uptime, develop parts faster or create emergency spare parts, Krones turned to 3D printing. Outsourcing the production of prototypes is very expensive and often could take weeks. With the use of UltiMaker 3D printers, prototypes were able to be produced in a day, or even in hours in some cases. By prototyping faster, Krones tested and iterated on their designs faster, ensuring that new parts performed better and lasted longer. This has helped customers with more reliable machines, higher uptime and a smaller environmental footprint.

telling the story through video

For this story, we’ve created a whole campaign of content assets. The main story shows the use and benefits of 3D printing at KRONES. For it’s promotion, various social media short videos with quotes were created. For the Ultimaker website, a story was written to explain the details. This case and the created contents were also used in webinars and at various booths on shows.
