Breaking the Mold – The Truth About 3D Printing and Why We’re Here

Every great journey starts with a challenge, and ours was no different. We launched into the world of 3D printing with passion, creativity, and the belief that knowledge should be shared. But reality had other plans.

Our first business failed, not because we lacked skill, but because we underestimated the gatekeeping, misinformation, and corporate control in this industry. Too many people hoard knowledge, acting like they hold the secret key to success, refusing to help others who are trying to learn. At the same time, big brands lock down technology, making it proprietary, expensive, and filled with hidden restrictions that force users into their ecosystem.

But failure wasn’t the end. It was the beginning.

We took every setback as a lesson. We studied the BS behind the industry, from low-quality mass production to the real reasons companies don’t want you modifying or repairing your own machines. We learned how to break through those barriers, find real solutions, and build something of our own—without the restrictions.

That’s why Kintsugi Industries exists.

We’re here to share what we’ve learned, expose the tactics companies use to hold people back, and build a community of creators who want to do more, print better, and break free from the limits imposed by others.

This blog is a space for:

✅ The truth about 3D printing—from the mistakes we’ve made to the tricks that actually work.

✅ Tips and tricks to help you print smarter, avoiding overpriced gimmicks and bad advice.

✅ A community of like-minded creators who actually want to grow and learn together.

We’ve overcome the barriers, and now, we’re here to tear them down for others.

Welcome to Kintsugi Industries. This is just the beginning. 🚀
