Launch of practical 3D printer materials for automotive, aerospace, and space
Supply of diverse products including high-strength XT (PETG), Ngen, HT, and others

3Developer, which is growing domestically and internationally as the new business division of Future Trade Co., Ltd., is the official Asia distributor for Color Fabb, a 3D printer material development company.

3Developer distributes Color Fabb, which actively develops materials for 3D printer feedstock, and expanded its contract from a domestic distributor in 2014 to an Asia distributor in 2015.

Color Fabb's recently developed new product Ngen is a copolyester filament. It boasts fast printing speed and offers users a premium, precise material that can print stably over extended periods, expanding the applications of 3D printers. It is suitable for producing printed objects that require heat resistance and durability, and is a highly stable filament with minimal warping or shrinkage even when printing large sizes for extended periods.



Ngen's applications include household goods that need to operate stably over long periods, housings that can protect and maintain electronic components, toys in vivid colors for children, prototypes that remain unchanged over time, modeling and character design fields requiring complex and high resolution, and medical fields such as prosthetics where heat resistance is important. Additionally, with excellent chemical resistance, it has the characteristic of not being problematic even when wiped or cleaned, and Ngen, which enables more practical real-life applications through 3D printers, is brightening the future of 3D printing.

Color Fabb is the company that continuously develops such new materials applicable to real-world scenarios. Color Fabb is a leading company in the 3D printer material market in Europe. Founded by Ruud Rouleaux in 2012, Color Fabb is a plastics-specialized company that began producing high-quality 3D printing filaments and officially launched the Color Fabb brand in 2013.

Color Fabb's most distinctive characteristic is its 'low tolerance error rate.' During filament production, a laser system that checks diameter measures over 1,000 times per second, guaranteeing a tolerance of 0.05mm for both 1.75mm and 2.85mm filaments. This means you can be confident that the printing failure rate is low and precise extrusion processing is possible. Enthusiasts explain that this is the reason they use European-made Color Fabb rather than Chinese alternatives.

3Developer also states that "the sophisticated and unique colors are exclusive to Color Fabb, which other 3D printer materials cannot replicate—this is the second characteristic. We have 23 colors including Shining Silver, Pale Gold, Natural, Signal Yellow, Sky Blue, and Chocolate Brown, and they sell out immediately upon arrival," the company explained.

3Developer noted that when comparing printed objects with other filaments, Color Fabb has superior color saturation even with the same color, and the degree of color fading over time is significantly superior with Color Fabb. The company expressed regret that Color Fabb is not yet widely known domestically and its quality is not recognized because many users search only for cheaper filaments.

Color Fabb, which accelerates development of practical new materials with high strength suitable for actual real-life use, also produces special filaments including glow-in-the-dark, wood, bamboo, bronze, cork, and brass, earning considerable favor from users in Europe.

Color Fabb's products are broadly categorized into eco-friendly PLA, high-strength XT (PETG), HT, Ngen, and Special. And all materials made by Color Fabb are manufactured from eco-friendly materials and have received FDA approval from the United States, confirming they are harmless to humans—this is the third characteristic.

Managing education and 3D printing business

3Developer, which leads in advancing the domestic 3D printing industry and enabling practical printing by distributing these quality 3D printer materials domestically, is growing into a substantial company by investing in L.corporation and managing education and 3D printing business as well. The company also plans to create communication channels for 3D printer users to facilitate active knowledge exchange and has expressed great plans and aspirations for the 3D printer business.

3Developer is the brand name of the 3D printer business division of Future Trade Co., Ltd., which has built its foundation as an import-export specialized trading company for nearly 30 years. Since 2013, it has been supplying globally quality-verified industrial and popular 3D printers, and is also attempting to discover high-quality 3D printers that are not yet well-known in the market but are easy to use and affordable, supplying domestically and internationally through OEM production.

In addition to supplying various 3D printers, 3Developer is growing into a substantial company managing education and 3D printing business by investing in L.corporation so that domestic users can more easily approach 3D printers.
