I'm Nico, founder of Concepts 3D. In this five-minute film, I share my experience in resin 3D printing, how the company began, and the work behind Athena II.
If you've followed the project for a while, I hope it gives you a closer look at the thinking behind the printer you've supported. If you're finding us for the first time, it's a place to meet me and understand what matters to us.
A printer you can understand
Athena II reflects a straightforward goal: owners should be able to understand their printer, maintain it, and make informed choices about how they use it.
For us, openness begins with access to the settings, resin profiles and process parameters that shape a print. That access helps you explore a material, understand a result, and adjust your process as your needs change.
We also want the first steps to feel approachable. Clear guidance and sensible defaults should help you get started, with deeper controls there when you're ready to explore them.
The experience of ownership
Ownership means learning what works for your projects, looking after the machine, and knowing where to turn when something needs attention.
That is why documentation, practical support, and the ability to maintain and upgrade Athena II matter to us. Our refreshed website brings together current printer details, software information and support resources to make that experience easier to navigate.
Our focus remains on Athena II, supporting our customers, and improving the hardware and software. For a closer look at the current setup, read What's New for Athena II.
Considering an Athena II?
For the website relaunch, new Athena II preorders can include one free add-on through November 30, 2026. Choose from the chamber heater, Theia camera, Aegis filter or Pro Build Arm. If you choose multiple eligible add-ons, the highest-priced one is free and the rest retain their bundled prices. The offer applies automatically at checkout, with no code required, and cannot combine with other discounts.
Athena II is available to preorder. Estimated delivery for new preorders is January 2027. This is an estimate and may change. Existing customers should refer to their order-specific updates for the timing of their printer.
Thank you to everyone who has supported Concepts 3D, shared feedback, and helped shape the project. I hope you enjoy the film.
