With 3D Printing – Tech Day, SolidWorld Group continues its international growth

Treviso, May 7, 2025 – SolidWorld Group S.p.A., listed on the Euronext Growth Milan market (ticker: S3D), is an Italian technology group and a leader in integrating advanced 3D digital solutions with AI for the industrial, biomedical, and next-generation solar sectors. The Group announces its participation at “3D Printing – Tech Day” conference, an event organized in collaboration with Stratasys, a global leader in industrial-grade additive 3D printing for the entire production cycle—from design to prototyping.

The conference, dedicated to professionals and companies operating in the aerospace, automotive, and defense sectors, is taking place today, May 7, 2025, in Abu Dhabi, the technological hub of the United Arab Emirates.

This initiative is part of an international development plan aimed at expanding presence in regions with high growth potential and a strong demand for cutting-edge technologies in strategic sectors such as energy and defense. With over 20 years of experience in the 3D printing sector, SolidWorld Group launched a strategic expansion plan in the Middle East in 2023, opening its first branch in Dubai. In just two years, the company has become a key player in delivering advanced 3D printing solutions, particularly in the oil & gas sector in the UAE and in defense in Saudi Arabia.

Thanks to its extensive know-how, SolidWorld Group offers a growing and diverse client base—including government agencies and operators—highly complex components featuring refined design and engineering precision that reflect the excellence of advanced Made in Italy manufacturing, highly valued in the Arab market.

Roberto Rizzo, President of SolidWorld Group S.p.A., stated: ““The 3D Printing – Tech Day conference in Abu Dhabi is an important opportunity for engagement and insight in a rapidly expanding market. Our company has strategically chosen to establish a presence in this part of the world, which shows strong growth potential in the oil & gas and defense sectors. This initiative not only strengthens our presence in the Gulf region but also confirms the growing interest in Made in Italy in Arab markets. The UAE and Saudi Arabia are making forward-looking investments in advanced technology and manufacturing. Made in Italy is globally recognized as a hallmark of excellence, and for SolidWorld Group is a great source of pride contributing to this growth with its know-how, distinctly Italian.”

The adoption of 3D printing in the defense sector is a fast-growing global trend, as it enables the rapid and flexible production of complex, customized military components.

In the Oil & Gas industry, 3D printing helps companies reduce waste and prevent incidents related to leakage. Additive manufacturing allows the creation of geometrically complex and cost-efficient parts, particularly useful for spare or replacement components. According to GlobalData, the 3D printing market in the energy sector is expected to reach USD 32 billion globally by 2025 and exceed USD 60 billion by 2030. The main advantages include reduced costs and delivery times for materials.

In today’s geopolitical context, energy, security, and defense have become central themes in political and economic agendas — driven by the war in Ukraine, ongoing tensions in the Middle East, and instability in the Pacific region. Defense is emerging as a major investment megatrend, alongside energy transition and artificial intelligence. In particular, the defense market in the Middle East and Africa is expanding, spurred by geopolitical tensions, regional conflicts, and increased military spending. This market is projected to reach USD 39.18 billion in 2025 and grow to USD 47.30 billion by 2030.

Saudi Arabia, in particular, is allocating a significant portion of its oil & gas revenues to diversify its economy, focusing on defense, aerospace, and renewable energy. In this context, partnerships with international technology companies represent a strategic asset to strengthen the country’s leadership in these sectors.

SolidWorld Group is well-positioned to seize this opportunity by offering advanced technologies and expertise — hallmarks of the best of Made in Italy.
