From garage prototype to exporting to U.S.: how Ukrainian company created 3D construction printer

3D printing in construction is still a novelty in Ukraine, even though it has been used globally for years. The Ukrainian company 3D UTU, led by founder and CEO Inna Furman, has launched what she describes as a revolution in Ukraine's construction sector, pioneering an industry previously non-existent in the local market.

Furman's team developed a fully Ukrainian-made printer that is currently more affordable and, in some cases, surpasses foreign counterparts in technical features. A few of these printers have already been sold abroad, including to the United States. LIGA.net spoke with the company's founder about the journey to creating this device.

Early days: successes, challenges, and the power of belief

Inna Furman studied law by choice, driven by a desire to understand her rights thoroughly. She actively engaged in civic activities as a student, working with the Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA) to help students secure internships.
