About us

FoamPrint3D is a start-up founded in 2022 by passionate scientists who invented a groundbreaking technology to produce highly controlled polymer foams using 3D printing. 
 
Our roots trace back to Harvard University, and the Engineering Fluid Dynamics (EFD) group at the University of Twente.

As a spin-off of the University of Twente in the Netherlands, the company owns a technology that combines a unique manufacturing process with exclusive formulations to create unprecedented possibilities in foam design, performance, and sustainability. 


Our expertise in materials science, engineering, and fluid mechanics allows us to develop customized foam solutions for industries that use foam in their products and seek high control over foam properties, design freedom, the use of bio-based materials, waste reduction, and more.
