The office supplies distributor will continue to retail ST3Di’s 3D printers and consumables in its markets in France, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Benelux, in catalogues and online.
ST3Di’s range comprises two state-of-the-art printers which can print with wood and ABS, in nine PLA colours, while the device’s Z-axis sheets “ensure effortless adhesion” leaving the bed “clean and ready to print”. The cartridges have smartchip technology for monitoring filament levels and controlling the material being printed, “which is fundamental for quality consistency every print”.
Filament materials are produced “using the highest quality virgin materials, free from impurities”, and the Propietary Helpful Printer Driver software facilitates easy re-ordering of consumables for the customer.
ADVEO said “using 3D print technology for prototyping, before committing to final tooling and mass production, reduces expense and time-to-market by getting designs right first time, with no costly pre-production and testing”.

EBP (Environmental Business Products) launched the ST3Di 3D printer range in April 2015, creating a design competition in UK schools, as the technology has now become “part of the National Curriculum” in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Philippe Guillotin, Europe Merchandising and Purchasing Director, ADVEO, said: “EBP products fit perfectly and complement ADVEO’s portfolio. We will continue taking steps forward in order to provide our customers with differentiated value offers.”
Aleem Hosein, Managing Director at Environmental Business Products, added: “EBP has an established relationship with ADVEO. We are thrilled to continue to work with them with the ST3Di brand and help ADVEO build awareness and educate their 16,000 European customers of the applications and benefits of 3D print technology.”
