3D printing promises to change the way we live and how we make and consume goods. It is forecast that the 3D printing market is to become a multibillion dollar industry in the next decade1 . 3D printing has become commonplace in areas such as pre-production prototyping, small-scale bespoke manufacturing and with enthusiasts. Nevertheless, the lack of a compelling 3D printing value proposition is hindering the mass adoption of 3D printing and limiting growth in the industry.

Forge is a UK based development stage company innovating in 3D printing supply chain and blockchain solutions. We believe that a step change is possible by providing a contentrich 3D printing ecosystem with decentralised, on-demand production, using a blockchain driven open-membership platform and a cryptocurrency payment/reward system.

We believe that a blockchain based 3D printing ecosystem will give rise to a new phase of interest and growth in 3D printing - encouraging manufacturers to consider a distributed global manufacturing model as a viable alternative to closed supply chains, incentivising content producers to become more active and productive, and allowing consumers to consider 3D printed solutions for their needs. Forge intends to actively promote this agenda and become a leading advocate and industry partner.

The business model of the company is based on revenue from both the Forge platform and from the sale of its 3D printers, which are mutually beneficial to each other. Revenue from the Forge platform will also fund the rewards program. The Forge token (FMX) sale will raise the required capital to realise the vision of Forge. The crowd funding approach will provide interested parties with an opportunity to participate in making this vision a reality via the purchase of FMX, which they will be able to use to purchase the goods and services provided by Forge or convert to another cryptocurrency via an exchange.
