06-18-2014: 3YOURMIND - the on-demand manufacturing software provider was founded
3YOURMIND developed an Uber-inspired marketplace platform that connected consumers with providers offering 3D printing services
On June 18, 2014, Aleksander Ciszek and Stephan Kühr founded 3YOURMIND at the Technical University in Berlin. At the time AM industry was primarily focused on prototyping parts, while Ciszek and Kühr saw an opportunity to provide software solutions that would bring industrial 3D printing in the field of parts production. Their goal was to allow customers to analyze part designs to determine whether they could be produced with additive manufacturing and, if so, at what cost.
In its initial iteration, 3YOURMIND developed an Uber-inspired marketplace platform that connected consumers with providers offering 3D printing services. In the years that followed, 3YOURMIND evolved to address the needs of enterprise customers by offering additive manufacturing workflow solutions that address part identification, ordering, and production.
In 2018, led by Alexandre Donnadieu - now chief commercial officer, 3YOURMIND entered the US market with its enterprise software solutions, providing service to such customers as Ford Motor Company or the U.S. Navy.
Recently 3YOURMIND has made headlines by securing programs of record with several organizations within the U.S. Department of Defense. The company’s software supports these organizations’ efforts to strengthen supply chains by identifying part candidates and building digital part inventories in anticipation of on-demand manufacturing.
