Q.BIG 3D files for insolvency – business operations and search for investors continue

The company Q.BIG 3D GmbH, which specializes in large-format 3D printing systems, filed for insolvency on 31 January 2025. The Local Court of Ludwigsburg ordered provisional insolvency administration and appointed Mr. Ilkin Bananyarli from PLUTA Rechtsanwalts GmbH as provisional insolvency administrator.

The company offers industrial additive manufacturing solutions for sectors such as aerospace, mechanical engineering and the automotive industry. The company had to file for insolvency due to financial bottlenecks while at the same time preparing for international expansion. The restructuring expert says: “Business operations will continue seamlessly and we are now looking for an investor for the innovative company.”

Q.BIG 3D’s systems are designed for the economical production of molded parts, fixtures and tanks. Despite the insolvency filing, business operations will continue. The salaries of around 20 employees are secured for three months through the insolvency substitute benefits. Together with his team, the insolvency administrator is planning the pre-financing of these payments and examining options for the continuation of the company.

In recent years, Q.BIG 3D has successfully implemented numerous customer projects and established its technology on the market. The company is now aiming to expand into international markets, particularly the USA. However, this step requires a new investor to provide the necessary financial resources. Talks have already been held with shareholders, but the unexpected insolvency of a shareholder in December 2024 prevented the successful conclusion of negotiations.

Managing Director and founder Dennis Herrmann says: “We specialize in the development of economical 3D printers. Our technology is innovative and tried and tested. The next milestone is our planned international expansion. For this, we need an investor who wants to invest in the potential of our technology. I am confident that we will find a partner for the future despite the insolvency proceedings.”
