The company is one of many ventures that have emerged out of Berlin's prominent Technische Universität (TU). The idea behind the startup is a new software program that prepares digital 3D data in a way that enables a three-dimensional model to be printed out directly. Until now, this process often required hours of manual reworking of the 3D data. What's most interesting for architects, product designers and many others is that they can now throw away all their papier-mâché and glue. To print their models, all they have to do is choose a suitable print service provider on the "3D-button.com" portal recently launched by 3YOURMIND. This makes 3D printing as easy as a click of your mouse! At the pop-up store: A 3D printer will print out Berlin landmarks, such as the TV Tower and the Brandenburg Gate, for visitors to take home, and the founders will take us along on a virtual journey through their success story. Where in Berlin? 3YOURMIND is at home in Berlin-Charlottenburg.
