We’re BEDROCK 3D

In August 2026 BEDROCK 3D welcomes a strategic Dutch investor, 819 Capital Partners, giving us renewed stability and roomkeep strengthening what we do best: developing reliable, prime-quality 3D printing filaments. Alongside our partner Insolution, we’re now part of NovioScan, the group bringing together 819 Capital’s tech companies focused on 3D printing.

It’s also the logical moment to leave behind our official company name, Forward AM Technologies Netherlands B.V. Shortly, our name will simply become: BEDROCK 3D B.V. Same Direction. Same Prime-Quality Filaments. Same People. Stronger Foundation.

In June 2025, Stratasys acquired parts of Forward AM GmbH (German Entity), which meant that in Emmen, we once again found ourselves taking a new path. This time, though, from a different starting point. As manufacturer of Ultrafuse, It became clear that we needed a new product name so we created something new, something truly our own. A strong, independent brand, with us firmly back at the helm.

That’s why Forward AM Technologies Netherlands B.V. proudly launched its new brand: BEDROCK 3D. The Same People, Same Location and of course the Same Trusted Prime-Quality filaments.

In 2023, BASF decided to sell 3D Printing Solutions to refocus on its core business. By mid-2024, that transition was complete. As a team, we continued under the Forward AM name, a period with many challenges.

With Forward AM Technologies Netherlands B.V., we continued operations as an independent entity and steadily carried on with our work.

The former Innofil3D became part of BASF 3D Printing Solutions, continuing under the name BASF Forward AM. The headquarters were set up in Heidelberg, Germany, with additional locations in the Netherlands, France, the US, and China. The team kept growing, driven by a clear goal: to become a global provider of industrial 3D printing solutions, offering printing services and materials for every major 3D printing technology. Including powders, resins, and filaments.

In Emmen, we kept doing what we do best: developing and producing prime-quality filaments.

In the years that followed, Innofil3D kept investing in new products and expanding its production capacity. The international customer base, mainly made up of printer manufacturers and distributors, continued to grow steadily. By 2017, Innofil3D had reached a point where it caught the attention of potential buyers. That same year, the company was acquired by BASF and became part of BASF New Business.

Back in 2013, Jeroen Wiggers started Innofil3D BV as a spin-off from Applied Polymer Innovations. A team focused on developing and applying polymer filament technology.

The goal was simple: to create, produce, and supply prime-quality 3D printing filaments for FFF Additive Manufacturing (or just 3D printing, as we all know it).
