The new Hewlett-Packard world development center for 3D printers will be in Barcelona
The Hewlett-Packard (HP) American company has chosen Barcelona to host the world development center for 3D printers. The news was announced on last April 10 by CEO Meg Whitman during her visit to Spain.
HP abandoned the 3D printers market but decided to come back and promises products to address the two challenging issues of speed and quality.
The development center will be located very close to the Barcelona Synchrotron Park, in a place where HP already has its world corporate headquarter for large size printers with more than 2,000 employees, including R+D, marketing and business operations.
3D printers are a promising market and HP thinks that the world sales of printers and related software and services could reach $11 billion by 2021 compared with $2.2 billion in 2012.
