Differentiation
Value Proposition
Japan's most comprehensive AM information hub — aggregating news, product specs, company data, events, and educational content in Japanese to bridge the information gap for Japanese manufacturers evaluating industrial 3D printing adoption.
How They Differentiate
Unlike global English-language AM media (3D Printing Industry, 3Dnatives, All3DP), ShareLab is exclusively Japanese-language and Japan-focused, serving a market where language barriers prevent many manufacturers from accessing global AM information. It combines editorial content with practical B2B tools (printer comparison, company database, catalog downloads) and is backed by INTRIX's B2B digital marketing expertise.
