The main advantage to be here in the center of Milano when we started the ONEOFF company, was really to have found in a small area a very very large amount of potential customers. This was not very clear for us but we have been very lucky because we have found a very high number, before potential customers, but afterwards a very large number of customers, because the main advantage we offer to those, to create, to realize prototypes, in a very short time, but also very cheap because we have decided to buy at first a machine, a 3D printer, that was 5 years ago that was not very known in the market. To realize that in a very short time models that a designer could, not really try for functional industry object, but to see as a first result, as a shape. So this was the first that we offered to the market in Milano. Because generally, if you think about the service companies, rapid prototyping service companies, you have a lot of service now in the USA, they are very large companies, they have very expensive machines, because they serve the industry that needs functional models, they need a lot of expensive things. While we were a small company, with not too much money to invest, we decided to let the prototypes become more of a mass use. So we had students, design studios, and for this reason we had a very rapid growth. We serve really, most of Milano-based design companies. After these we started to serve the big companies, like Olivetti and all the companies around here. So we started from this, but we needed to show to the market our possibilities.

Monica: Yes in fact, thanks to the ONEOFF work with such big names we got in contact with young designers, working with these big names, so good designers, with good ideas, and really willing to make design the base of their life. They got in contact with us because they came here to see the prototypes and how the machines work, and since then started the Industreal concept.
