It looks like the use of paper material to create 3D printed objects is a popular choice. Mcor Technologies Ltd, manufacturer of the only line of desktop paper 3D printers released its growth figures recently. Over the past ten months, it has achieved 1200% growth in the number of reselling partners and a 600% increase in sales.

This growth has prompted further investment of $2 million in Mcor this month by the Irish Technology Leadership Group (ITLG). Founded in 2007 by ITLG President John Hartnett and chaired by former Intel Corp. CEO Dr. Craig Barrett, the ITLG is an independent organization comprised of over 1500 high-level technology leaders primarily based in Silicon Valley who are Irish or Irish-American. The Group includes senior executives from some of the Valley’s leading corporations, each of whom are committed to promoting the technology connection between Ireland and Silicon Valley, and helping Ireland address the challenges of embracing new technology opportunities.

“We are thrilled with our remarkable growth in such a short period of time,” said Dr. Conor MacCormack, Co-founder and CEO of Mcor Technologies. “It has been an exciting year as we have expanded our product line, team and business and we are grateful to ITLG for their continued support.”
