3Design - Type3

Type3, Gravotech’s software brand

Global leader for Artistic and Industrial CAD/CAM Solutions

Type3 has become a global leader for Artistic and Industrial CAD/CAM Solutions.

The Solutions that the brand develops establish a major link between Graphical Arts and Industries.

Consumers want increasingly aesthetic objects, which bring to mind a brand or membership of a group, sometime of a community. But they also want innovation. More than ever, objects are a way of communicating, differentiating.

The history of Type3

Type3 (formerly known as Vision numeric) was created in 1988. Initially intended to render parts communicative through engraving, sculpture, cutting and texture, the concept of Type3 solutions has evolved to now include 3D modelling and prototyping designs. 

The commercial brand endeavors to meet the needs and wishes of many industries such as design, jewelry, engraving, molding, signage and many more. With the parent company located in France, Type3 has expanded its network by opening subsidiaries in various attractive regions: Italy, United Kingdom, Germany, China and USA. Our network also includes fifty dealers around the world. The future promises effective solutions and new partnerships for our brand.
