San Stella 3D Station Ikebukuro: A New Era of 3D Printing

The future of 3D printing is coming to life in Tokyo's Ikebukuro district with the announcement of the San Stella 3D Station, set to open in the summer of 2026. This pioneering store, established by San Stella Co., Ltd., will offer an immersive experience where visitors can engage with 3D printers and scanners, making it the only dedicated physical store for 3D printing in Japan.

The belief that seeing and touching the technology would enhance user comprehension has driven the company’s activities.
