We've been busy... 

While many startups struggle to keep up momentum between funding rounds, R3 Printing has been busy making more progress than can be shared all at once: we've been growing our team, tapping into new revenue streams, finalizing key components, getting patent after patent, and pushing new ones for approval - just to name a few things. Growth is the name of the game, and today we'd like to put a spotlight on something we're also really excited about: 

Most recently, we've added to our sales pipeline by expanding our partnerships to include larger institutions, securing partnerships with 3 major California universities, including two Top 10 schools for research and mechanical engineering, respectively. These universities are eager to give their students an edge with the most cutting-edge 3D printing technology.

With R3 Printer, universities and their students will be able to innovate more than ever before.

☝ That's not all, though! Check out the Growth and Traction section of our page for even more! ☝

2022 is going to be BIG! 💥

We hope you're as excited about all our progress as we are! 2022 is going to be a BIG year for R3 Printing, and we can't wait to continue sharing everything with you!

If you're already on board as an R3 Printing Early Investor, we hope to see you in our current round as well! If not, now's your chance! Let's keep on growing! 🌱🌳🤝

Until next time...

- The R3 Printing Team

We're bigger, we're stronger, we're... BACK on StartEngine!

R3 Printing is growing rapidly alongside the ever-expanding $18 billion-dollar 3D printing industry, which is expected to continue its trend of massive growth to be a $47 billion-dollar industry by 2026, and $115 billion by 2030. As part of our strategy to capture this incredible opportunity, we've been busy recruiting and hiring top talent, and we're excited to share this amazing progress with you!

It Takes a Team 💪

At R3 Printing, we're proud to not only take on the challenge of bringing groundbreaking new products to market, but to also have the absolute best talent on our team to bring you the 3D-printed future we deserve: 

Alex Dye

Alex is a skilled and driven mechanical engineer who has worked tirelessly to bring the best in engineering to large, established companies and fast-growing, agile startups alike. He honed his expertise in all phases of the engineering design process from concept validation through manufacturing optimization in the consumer products, surgical robotics, and medical device industries.

Jocelyn Cervantes

As a first-generation college student, Jocelyn was able to not only navigate uncharted territory but also thrive at Brown University, ranked No. 6 overall in the nation. She then honed her engineering skills across multiple industries at established companies like NBCUniversal and Solar Turbines. Her grit and determination are what stood out to us, and we're thrilled to have her on our team!

Kyle Chuang

Kyle grew up with a passion for problem-solving and developing technology, which fueled his decision to study Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Mechatronics at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, ranked No. 8 for best engineering programs in the nation, where he graduated Magna Cum Laude.

Cal Poly Engineering graduates are recruited by some of the best-known companies in the US such as Lockheed Martin, Google, Boeing, Cisco, Northrop Grumman, Apple, Tesla, and many more.

Partnering With The Best 💎

At R3 Printing, we partner with the best. Kruze Consulting is the expert in helping startups build financial models that unlock maximum growth, achieving VC due diligence success, and saving $100,000s in tax refunds and credits. We're incredibly excited for everything that's now possible with Kruze on our team.

We're constantly developing our product roadmap and ensuring we directly answer our customers' needs while outperforming what the competition can offer. All that R&D work makes us eligible for tax credits that can bring up to $250,000 (!!!) back to R3 Printing so we can put dollars where they matter most: IP and innovation. That's why we brought on Kruze: to maximize our operational efficiency and to stretch every single dollar of your investment. They'll focus on the back office while we focus on disrupting the $18 billion-dollar 3D printing industry. 🦾

Made Possible by Early Investors Like You 💜

We're thrilled to not only have a growing team, but also a growing community of dedicated R3 Printing Early Investors to share these milestones and our successes with. And although we had to close our last two campaigns with a waitlist, we're thrilled to be able to let more people in!

To all new R3 Printing Early Investors: welcome aboard! 🤝

We've also received an overwhelming amount of requests from existing investors and everyone on the waitlist who wanted to double down... the moment you've been waiting for is here!

Our new team members have already hit the ground running, our partnership with Kruze has already paid for itself in R&D tax credits we've received, and with our most recent technical achievements, R3 Printing is on a roll and there are no signs of us slowing down! 🚅💨

Join Us: Let's Keep Growing! 🌱🤝🌳

There's so much more to share, and it's going to take more than a few updates to get it all out to you. Stay tuned!

In the meantime... onwards, upwards, and until next time!

You're the first to know! 📢

You asked, we delivered: R3 Printing is back and you're the first to know! After back-to-back oversubscribed equity crowdfunding campaigns, including raising $435k in under two hours last year, it's our pleasure to announce that we're able to accept investments again!

We've received tremendous demand, momentum, and commitment from the early investing community with an overwhelming amount of requests from people on the waitlist who weren't able to get in last time. And although we had to close our last campaign with a waitlist, we're thrilled to be able to let more people in so we can continue to share our journey and our successes with you!

Also, for those of you who are already investors and wanted to double down, now's your chance!

Metal: Sneak Peek at our Latest and Greatest Achievements 🔥

Growth is the name of the game, and things are heating up at R3 Printing! Here are some of the latest updates and innovations we've been working tirelessly on since launching our last campaign. We've been expanding our team, tapping into new revenue streams, finalizing key components, and pushing new patents for approval, just to name a few things.

The Big Thing that we've been eagerly waiting to share with you is this: 

^ That right there is never-before-seen footage of R3 Printer printing a custom-designed heatsink... in copper. You read that right: copper. We've integrated metal 3D printing into R3 Printer!

This is huge.

This development puts us in line with both Desktop Metal (NYSE: DM) and Markforged (NYSE: MKFG), two 3D printing startups that went public last year with valuations over $2B (!!!). The twist from our end is, R3 Printer can now do metal + plastic in the same machine. Instead of having to buy two separate machines (one for metal, one for plastic), businesses that invest in the R3 ecosystem can 3D-print both metal and plastic parts without having to double their infrastructure costs. Needless to say, we're incredibly excited - and our customers are too.

Invest or R3-Invest Here.

Let's grow this wonderful community and keep the successes coming! Together, let's disrupt a $18 billion-dollar industry and usher in a new era of customized products that are manufactured on-demand, just for you.

Onwards and upwards!

Meet our Newest Team Members! 👋👨‍🔧👩‍🔧

R3 Printing is growing rapidly alongside the ever-expanding 3D printing industry that's expected to reach a whopping $25B in 2022. As part of our growth strategy to capture this incredible opportunity, we've brought on two more talented engineers that we're thrilled to introduce you to: say hello to Jocelyn Cervantes and Kyle Chuang! 👏

StartEngine just finalized the Investors List for our latest funding round, which means... get ready for Early Investor Perks! 🥳🎉

Behind every breakthrough idea and early-stage startup there's a passionate network of investors just like you that cheer on the founders, spread the word, and of course - support the vision with your hard-earned dollars to turn an idea into a world-changing reality.

At R3 Printing, we really care about our investors and we're thrilled that through our partnership with StartEngine we can thank our R3 Printing Early Investors with #earlyinvestorperks! 💜🎁

As a quick refresher, investments in our previous Republic round and our latest StartEngine round will add up to help our investors reach a higher perks tier. Woohoo! So if you doubled down on your investment, you might be qualifying for a higher perks tier! 🌟🆙

We knew our mugs looked like something... 😉

For this round, we're excited to be bringing back our Limited Edition R3 Printing Galaxy Mugs for Gold Tier investors! These mugs reflect a signature design element of R3 Printer - the 3D printer that's unlocking efficient and scalable on-demand manufacturing, lowering the cost of 3D-printed products, and unleashing the custom 3D-printed future we all need and deserve. 🙌

We nicknamed this look 'Galaxy' because it reminds us of the breathtaking pictures taken by the Hubble Telescope, showing us the universe like never before. It's also fitting because the applications of 3D printing technology are virtually limitless, from space exploration to Earthly innovations! 🌌🌎

To help ensure that your Perks get to their new homes safely, we'll be emailing out a survey to all qualifying investors. This lets us double-check that we have the correct shipping address (wouldn't want your limited edition Perks to be sent to the wrong address! 🙀), and we can also confirm how you would like your name to appear on the Investors Page of our website so that everyone can see that you got in early (you can also opt-out)! 🥇

Be sure to check your inbox (and your spam folder!) for the R3 Printing Early Investor Perks Form, and fill it out by September 12, 2021! 📅⏳

Until next time!

We're thrilled to announce that R3 Printing just successfully closed another oversubscribed round of funding! 🎉📈

This has been an amazing campaign, and we hit some incredible milestones: 

• We reached our goal of $1.630M, hitting our funding target for a second time in a row. 🎯
• Our track record now includes back-to-back oversubscribed campaigns, with more and more investors oversubscribing each time. 📈
• We now have a growing community of over 6,000+ investors on board! 🤝

A lot of you have asked: why not do the full $5M? Although we would have loved to allow everyone in on this round, in order to go to the full $5M made possible by recent SEC rule changes we need to update our terms, which requires opening a new campaign.

If you weren't able to make it into this round though, don't worry: we're full-steam ahead building R3 Printing into a 3D printing industry powerhouse and we don't plan on slowing down anytime soon! Stay tuned for more information as we build, grow, and plan future rounds! 👂📡

Building the Future, Together 🤝

This campaign is an important milestone in our climb towards building R3 Printing into a market leader of the $16 billion-dollar 3D printing industry, but it's also an incredible journey of community-building with passionate investors who really take a deep interest in the startups they help fund.

The opportunity to directly interact with a community of engaged investors like you is unique to the equity crowdfunding world, and we are tremendously grateful for the amazing support from each and every one of our R3 Printing Early Investors that share our vision for a customized, 3D-printed future.

We couldn't have done it without you. From all of us at R3 Printing, thank you! 🤗

Next Stop: Perks! 🚏🚂

Now that the campaign is officially closed, StartEngine is finishing up processing the last few investments, drawing from the waitlist as necessary for any investments that fall through, and finalizing the official list of everyone who got in on this round.

Once we receive the final list, we'll get started on Early Investor Perks! 🎁

We'll email a survey to all qualifying investors so we can confirm mailing addresses, and we'll post a campaign update or two to make sure everyone got the email. Then once that's done, it'll be time to check your mailboxes! 📦💨

Thank You 💜

To all our R3 Printing Early Investors who backed us, thank you for joining us on this exciting journey! It's an absolute honor to have you on board. 🤝

If you aren't already, be sure to follow us on social media! We're on all the major platforms, so there's a way to stay up-to-date for everyone.

Happy June, everyone! 🌞

Things are on the up and up at R3 Printing! We're expanding our team, exploring new revenue streams, finalizing design-for-manufacturing for key components, and pushing new patents for approval. To help us stay focused on disrupting the $16 billion-dollar 3D printing industry, we're proud to share that we've brought on Kruze Consulting for our accounting, finance, and tax needs. They're the experts in helping startups maintain strong financials, achieving VC due diligence success, building financial models that unlock maximum growth, and saving $100,000s in tax refunds and credits. 💸💸

We're constantly investing in developing our product roadmap, ensuring it directly answers our customers' needs while outperforming what the competition can offer. All that R&D work along with early tax startup credits can bring up to $250,000 (!!!) back to R3 Printing so we can put dollars where they matter most: IP and innovation. That's why we've brought on Kruze, to maximize our operational efficiency and to stretch every single dollar of your investment. They'll focus on the back office while we focus on changing the 3D printing industry. 🦾

Our choice to work with Kruze was no accident; at R3 Printing, we work with the best. As Jason Calacanis said in his podcast, "everybody, go to Kruze Consulting. They do a great job. I personally can tell you, they've done a great job for our companies [...] I'm sure they'll do a great job for you." Having participated in his LAUNCH festival in the past, we know the value of Jason's guidance for startups, and we're thrilled that our choice to work with Kruze has his endorsement too.

What's Next? 🚩🏃‍♀️💨

With yet another important piece of company infrastructure locked in place, we're continuing the journey from small startup to established company at lightning speed. ⚡

There's lots more to share, and we can't wait to share it with you. All we can say right now is that we have one very exciting year planned ahead, so stay tuned!

Until next time!

[The following is an automated notice from the StartEngine team].

Hello!

As you might know, R3 Printing has exceeded its minimum funding goal. When a company reaches its minimum on StartEngine, it's about to begin withdrawing funds. If you invested in R3 Printing be on the lookout for an email that describes more about the disbursement process.

This campaign will continue to accept investments until its indicated closing date.

Thanks for funding the future.

The Waitlist is Still Open (but not for long)! 📃💨

Even though the R3 Printing campaign is Oversubscribed, investments are still processing. For those in the know, this means that it's still possible to get in on this round! 🤫

Space can clear up due to failed payments, wire transfers, and the like - at which point waitlisted investors are accepted and allowed to finalize their investments. So just because you're not in yet or you didn't invest as much as you'd like to, it doesn't necessarily mean that you missed your chance!

We always encourage those who ask to join the waitlist since there's always the possibility of making it in. And as we all know, with early-stage startup investing, the earlier the better. 🧠📈

We're absolutely thrilled with the tremendous support we've received, and we have each and every one of our R3 Printing Early Investors to thank for it!

There's so much more to come, and we can't wait to share! Until next time...
