Our flagship product
Sponsored content
Professionally written articles, produced by our editorial team to our editorial standards rather than repurposed press releases. That is why our articles are regularly picked up by other industry channels, extending your reach beyond our own audience.
Starter article
A concise announcement or promotion written by our team, with an editorial link to your website, an image and a social media share.
Standard article
A full article with multiple images, an editorial link to your website and a social media share. Permanently published.
Best value
Extended article
An in-depth piece with images or embedded video, multiple editorial links, social media promotion and inclusion in the next newsletter.
Custom launch feature
For major product launches: long-form coverage with specification and comparison tables, rich product markup for Google, extensive imagery and revision rounds with your team. Scoped per project.
Additional links
Extra editorial links to your website, available with any article.
All articles are written by our team, and a draft is always shared for your approval before publication. Package deals across multiple articles are available.
Hands-on credibility
Product review program
Independent, hands-on reviews by an engineering-led team under a fixed testing methodology. Headline claims are tested against measured results, products run our house benchmark suite so scores stay comparable across brands, and every review ends with a rating, pros and cons and a clear buying recommendation.
3D printer reviews
FDM and resin. Full benchmark suite, claims versus measured results, multi-material testing, photo gallery, pros and cons, rating, social share and newsletter mention.
3D scanner reviews
Every scanning mode tested across difficult surfaces, accuracy checks, scan sample gallery, pros and cons, rating, social share and newsletter mention.
DIY machinery reviews
Laser engravers and cutters, desktop CNC machines and other workshop equipment. Real jobs across the claimed material range, speed and power claims measured and safety features checked.
Professional systems
High-end and industrial equipment, typically evaluated on a loan basis. Testing depth, timing and logistics are agreed per project.
Software reviews
Hands-on testing of slicers, scanning software and other 3D workflow tools, with a workflow walkthrough, pros and cons and rating.
How the program works
- A structured process. An agreed delivery window, optional embargo and a factual correction window after publication.
- Independence, in writing. No draft approval and no influence on content, rating or timing. Supplied units are always disclosed to readers.
- Built to last. Reviews are permanently published and reviewed products feed into our comparisons and buyer’s guides.
- Editor’s Choice. Top-scoring products earn the Editor’s Choice badge. Licensing of scores and badges for your own marketing is available.
Acceptance is at editorial discretion and testing capacity is limited. Contact us with your product details to learn about the application criteria.

Trade shows and conferences
Event coverage and media partnerships
We work with trade shows, conferences and industry events across the additive manufacturing calendar. Editorial coverage and paid promotion are strictly separated, and that separation is what keeps both valuable.
Complimentary editorial coverage is considered on news merit alone and is never guaranteed in exchange for access or any form of partnership. This can include event roundups, industry calendars and news coverage of announcements made at an event.
Paid event promotion

A pre-event article published in the weeks ahead, with images, an editorial link and a social media share.
Extended event feature
An in-depth preview covering programme highlights, speakers or key exhibitors, included in the next newsletter.
Post-event recap
A dedicated article summarising the event, key announcements and takeaways.
Event newsletter feature
A dedicated placement in The 3DPrinting.com Weekly, sent in the run-up to the event.
Official media partnership
A bundled package with announcement article, newsletter feature, pre-event banner, post-event recap and logo listing. Barter arrangements are considered for larger international events.
All sponsored event content is clearly labelled, with a draft shared for approval before publication.
