About Us

Our Story

3D Fanatics was conceived to address the unique challenges facing the 3D printing sector in Colombia. Traditional e-commerce and social platforms like Facebook or generic marketplaces often do not provide the specialized tools and security measures required by local 3D printing entrepreneurs. Our journey began during the development of the thesis titled "APLICACIÓN INTELIGENTE DE COMERCIO ELECTRÓNICO PARA EL SECTOR DE IMPRESIONES 3D," where extensive research identified the need for a secure, intelligent, and industry-specific solution.

Mission and Vision

Our mission is to revolutionize the e-commerce experience for the 3D printing industry by creating a platform that integrates advanced biometric security, intelligent recommendations, and real-time customer support—all designed to empower local entrepreneurs and foster trust among users.

Our vision is to become the leading specialized marketplace in Colombia, where technology and innovation combine to deliver secure, personalized, and efficient digital commerce.

Our Team

At the heart of 3D Fanatics is a team led by Edinson Dorado, whose expertise in technology and innovation paved the way for this pioneering project. Guided by esteemed academic directors and industry experts, our team is dedicated to building a platform that not only meets the needs of the market but also sets new standards for security and user experience.

Technology and Innovation

Our platform leverages state-of-the-art technologies to provide a secure and seamless e-commerce experience. User data, including email addresses, passwords, and product images, is stored using robust AWS services (AWS S3 and Amazon RDS). For enhanced security, our Face Login feature uses Amazon Face Rekognition to capture and store biometric data, ensuring that only genuine users gain access.

Additionally, we utilize AWS services such as Amazon Lex, Personalize, Cognito, and Textract to power advanced functionalities like intelligent recommendations, chatbot support, and automated extraction of data from government-issued ID cards. This integration of advanced AI and cloud technologies ensures that our platform remains secure, scalable, and innovative.

Research and Development

Developed as part of a comprehensive thesis project, 3D Fanatics is the result of rigorous research and testing. Our thesis explored the limitations of existing platforms and identified a need for a specialized solution that integrates biometric authentication, personalized recommendations, and intelligent support. This extensive research, carried out at Universidad del Valle, formed the backbone of our application, ensuring that every feature is designed with the end-user in mind.
