The tour was excellent and my guide had great details about how 3d printing works and different types. I would highly recommend if you're anywhere near Houston.. the location is close to nasa.

We learnt loads about not only the wonderful company Re:3D is but also about the world of 3D printing and it’s uses but also recycling plastics

My son loved talking to the guide about the 3D printing world and was very happy with the time spent at the factory. They have a cool story and we have a better upstanding of how these large format printers are made and what they are used for. My son is in robotics and was all into this tour. The rocket you take home is pretty cool as well!Went with 3 kids, ages 10-17. They thought it was pretty cool and interesting. We all have a minimal knowledge of 3D printing. We had the tour to ourselves which was really nice
