In 2021, Royal3D had the privilege to print the four-meter-tall Eurovision trophy delegated by Rotterdam Make it Happen. For its creation, recycled PET-G material was used, while maintaining strong, rigid, and durable models, perfectly aligning with our values. The material was collected from the Rotterdam waters, continuously promoting circularity.
Designed by two students, Royal3D printed the Rotterdam key for the Host City Insignia Exchange. The key was designed to represent Rotterdam’s mentality by incorporating different elements of the city. Various designs were presented in front of a jury and the winning design was printed by Royal3D, using recycled PET-G material. The insignia was temporarily on display at Rotterdam City Hall and now travels thoughout Europe as part of the Eurovision Insignia Collection to the place hosting the annual Eurovision Song Contest.


Royal3D was part of the creation of ZEM (Zero Emission Mobility) car by incorporating additive manufacturing for the 3D printed body panels. With the help of Royal3D, TU/ecomotive demonstrated how 3D printing can transform vehicle design, enabling a faster, greener and more efficient production process. With our 3D printing technology we were able to create complex and precise body panel designs, helping the ZEM team get the car on the road in just 10 months. Using 3D printing enabled quick iterations and adjustments, ensuring the vehicle met both performance and aesthetic requirements. The panels were printed using recycled plastic, thus reducing waste and aligning with both our and the car’s CO2-neutral goals.
In 2021, Royal3D played a role in Squid Game. Not as a participant but as part of the crew. We had the thrilling chance to create a 3D printed figure of “the Doll”. The Doll was created from sustainable material aligning with our values. It was showcased in Rotterdam and in Maastricht, where people were able to experience the Netflix show “Squid Game”. Our experience with 3D printing allowed for a tailored design to suit the client's needs while bringing the show to live, even if only for two days


Royal3D had the exciting opportunity to print giant Robijn bears that were put in three cities around the Netherlands. The bears were later painted by local artists in vibrant colors. The bears were printed from recycled materials and were later donated to local businesses. With the use of 3D printing the Robijn bears are lightweight and modular, making them easily to transport, while in the same time reducing production time. Moreover, 3D printing allows for freedom in design creation aligning with the clients vision, including size, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
