We are thrilled to hear y'all had a good time! Showing you around was just as fun for me. I look forward to catching up at a future class!
Michael gave my family and I an AMAZING tour!!! He is gifted at explaining the science and tech behind 3D printing and the current company projects. Also, we got to meet the re:3D CEO and take a 3D printed rocket home 🥳🥳 This tour is super fun and you learn a lot!!! I 1,000% recommend 😄
Thanks so much Keren! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the tour and we loved having you visit. Come back any time!
This was a truly amazing tour. It almost felt like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory to get this exclusive peek behind the scenes at this pioneering 3d printer company, everything from the tech to the conference room to the dogs (and goats!). Out of everything we did in Austin, my teen/college age kids ranked this their favorite activity, and we went the week of SXSW so that is saying a lot! We felt David was extremely generous with his time, as well.
Thanks very much Barry! We loved hosting you and your family and showing you around. So glad you had a great time!
A must see!! The adults and kids enjoyed it! Mike explained and and answered all our questions with a lot of patience. The whole experience was quite fascinating and of course, the kids loved the rocket!
Thanks so much for your positive review! We're delighted you and your family had a good time!
An exciting way to see first-hand cutting-edge technology and learn about corporate responsibility in action. The 60-minute tour was informative and professional. I would highly recommend it to anyone curious about technology and innovation in Austin, Texas. Plus there is a really cool surprise gift for each visiting group.
Thank you Mark! It was a pleasure hosting your group and showing you our HQ! Please come back anytime!
Charlotte was very knowledgeable and personal. It helped that we had only 5 people though so she could get to know us more. She was able to answer all of our questions and made the tour entertaining as well as informative. Great personality for this.
Helps when I get to share all of my colleague's amazing work! They make it really easy to give an interesting tour. Thank you for your kind words.
Charlotte was amazing! She could answer any question with “made sense” answers. There were 3 of us who had heard of 3-D printers but no idea as to how they worked. I HIGHLY recommend everyone from kids to grandmas take this tour to educate yourself about how 3D printers are built, how they function, and how this company is reusing/recycling plastic. Go Gigabots!
Thank you so much for coming to see us! really enjoyed meeting all of you!
Fabulous tour …super interesting. We learnt loads about not only the wonderful company Re:3D is but also about the world of 3D printing and it’s uses but also recycling plastics
Great, memorable experience—wonderful docent— kids loved their souvenir rockets and talked about what they saw all day
glad to hear your kids enjoyed it. great to meet your crew!
This was a great tour of a 3d printer factory! Charlotte was so knowledgeable and so patient at answering my 11 year olds every last question. We spent nearly a week in the Galveston/Houston area taking in all the sights and I’m not exaggerating when I say that this was the highlight for my son. He had the very best time here and is already asking when we can go back. If you’re even slightly interested in the 3d printing world then take this tour. You’ll really enjoy it. The souvenir 3d printed rocket is pretty fun too!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was such a pleasure welcoming your family for a visit. Keep in touch!
