Switzerland-based international 3D Printing on-line ecosystem — Jellypipe — is beginning to gain traction in the UK and Ireland after its recent launch in the region, having already been active and successful in continental Europe for a number of years.

Jellypipe leveraging income from 3D Printing
Jellypipe is rolling out its 3D printing platform country by country as it moves towards global coverage, all the time embracing more and more companies that are either using or considering the use of 3D printing in a range of metal or plastic applications in their manufacturing.
Scott Colman, Jellypipe Representative for the UK and Ireland, said: “These are exciting times in industry, and there is a ground swell of companies assessing the financial viability of the use of 3D printing to replace or compliment traditional manufacturing processes.
"There are already a significant number of manufacturers from across Europe that use the Jellypipe platform. Much of my focus as we work toward the end of 2020 is to work to leverage more and more manufacturing expert companies onto the platform. The principle here is simple, and is the real strength of Jellypipe. The ecosystem works by curating the community of users. Manufacturers do not deal with 3D printing service providers direct, but instead they work through virtual shops on the ecosystem which advise customers on aspects of design, materials, the best fit 3D printing technology etc… and these shops then effectively put the job out to tender from the entire network of 3D printing service suppliers, customers then being presented with the best price and fastest delivery options.”
The Jellypipe ecosystem allows manufacturing experts and consultants to open a virtual shop on the3 D printing platform at a nominal monthly fee, and income is generated from a percentage of the 3D printing work that is ordered through the shop.
