Year in Review: 3DCentral 2025 Highlights and Milestones

As 2025 winds down, we reflect on a year of significant growth, new products, community expansion, and milestones that have shaped the trajectory of 3DCentral and our Quebec print farm.

Production Milestones

2025 saw our print farm grow to over 200 active printers — a milestone that represents both capacity and commitment. Total units printed this year exceeded all previous years combined. Print quality improved through ongoing calibration refinements and material testing. Our failure rate dropped to its lowest level ever, meaning more material went into products and less into recycling bins.

Catalog Growth

New design additions throughout 2025 expanded our catalog significantly. Community artist partnerships with Cinderwing3D, McGybeer, Flexi Factory, Zou3D, Gob3D, Twisty Prints, and Arbiter brought fresh creative perspectives. Seasonal collections for every quarter kept the catalog feeling current and relevant. The breadth of our design library is now one of our strongest competitive advantages.

Community Expansion

Our customer base grew across Canada and into the United States. Social media following increased steadily through consistent content and genuine community engagement. The Commercial License program attracted print farm operators from across the country. Mystery Box subscriptions built a loyal recurring revenue base of enthusiastic collectors.

Sustainability Progress

Packaging plastic reduction exceeded 90 percent of our original usage. Quebec hydroelectric power continues to provide clean energy for all production. Filament waste recovery programs improved recycling rates. Every product shipped in 2025 had a smaller environmental footprint than its equivalent in 2024.

Thank You

None of these achievements would be possible without our customers, artists, team members, and community supporters. Every order placed, every design shared, and every referral made contributes to the growth that funds further investment in quality, variety, and capability. Thank you for an extraordinary 2025.
