3D printing company excels at business awards

At the second edition of the Malta International Business Awards, Thought3D Ltd, having demonstrated that its products are innovative and led to significant increase in export revenue, won the prestigious Innovation Exporter Category Award.

Thought3D Ltd is probably not very well known in Malta, but this small-sized company is making waves internationally in the additive manufacturing industry with its high-quality products being adopted by most.

First held in 2017, Malta’s premier international business awards, created by TradeMalta with the strategic support of HSBC Bank Malta, honours businesses across a range of categories. Running for the second time, the categories were: Exporter of the Year in Small, Medium, Large and Emerging Markets, Innovation Exporter of the Year, High Potential Exporter of the Year, Online Exporter and Overall Exporter of the Year.

Thought3D was set up in 2014 by two young Maltese entrepreneurs, who, through various research and development projects, gradually changed their focus to 3D printing, which was just experiencing its shift into mainstream engineering.

As patents in the field were just expiring, the field opened up to research and development.
