Lleida, June 28, 2022. The PIMEC Awards recognize the companies INVELON and INTECH3D, member companies of INGROUP, with the PIMEC Youth Award for their exponential growth in recent years in Lleida and their ability to create 4.0 technological solutions, providing added value through the innovation, cost reduction, digitization, flexibility and improvement in the efficiency of carrying out industrial procedures.

The Lleida holding company is made up of different technological companies specialized in 3D printing, virtual, augmented and mixed reality, artificial intelligence, big data and the Internet of Things (IoT). The past year 2021 has been especially relevant for INVELON and INTECH3D, since they have developed virtual Metaverse projects for companies such as Fm-Grupo, Tecnocat, Up&Bike, Rotecna, Vall Companys or Grífols. They have also managed to program and develop new modules of their own printer cluster management software, PRINT&GO, such as artificial intelligence and artificial vision that allows detecting 3D printing problems through the camera of your printer. On the other hand, and also in relation to technology, this year they have combined 3D printing technologies with automated robotic arm technologies in order to automate the entire manufacturing process with the printers.

The first pillars of INGROUP began to be built in 2015. That same year, INTECH3D was founded to focus innovation on one of the most unknown technologies at that time, 3D printing, and provide added value through applied innovation, the reduction of costs, the digitization of knowledge and the improvement of efficiency in carrying out industrial procedures.

Today INGROUP has a team of 40 professionals, with more than 3,500 clients and an international presence in 14 countries with distributors, delegates and concessions that sell the technological software product that the companies INVELON and INTECH3D manufacture. With a turnover close to 5 million euros, INGROUP is a benchmark in Industry 4.0 technologies; 3D printing, virtual, augmented and mixed reality and the Internet of Things (IoT), and aims to consolidate itself as the largest national company in Spain specialized in cutting-edge technologies. During 2021, 30 national and international collaborators and distributors have been signed and software and hardware products have been marketed and exported to 33 different countries.
