333D - securing future revenue steams with their new venture in the marketplace, adding to their operations in the 3D printing spectrum. With the announcement of this partnership, I have conducted the following research for Hot Copper.

For those that are currently unaware of the company - The Big Freeze Worldwide
The following will provide understanding of business and operations.

Founded by  Robert Latorre in 1990, the company is a spin off of Big Fish Films, that made splashes in the special effects industry - due to the 360 degree filming process.
As private companies do not always publish accounts and revenues, they have been sourced from third party sites.
Revenues doubling in 1997-1998 (10m total),

Revenues in 2016 (6m total, estimate.)

Current Venture - The Big Freeze has firmly grasped the market place for consumer and professional 360 imaging and filming, with featured clients provided on their website ranging from high cap multinationals to medium size US firms. Client range below:

With the company revenue estimates ranging from 1 - 5million(2.4m est.) USD in 2016, employee numbers between 10-20, and minimal ongoing operating costs for the firm, their marketing campaigns to improve sales and exposure have become ever more aggressive both domestically(US) and internationally; as seen in their social media pages and website.

As of 2009 Nikon has been aboard - 360 freeze frame and video is now possible commercially; this has also been integrated into imaging software of the appropriate Nikon cameras (among others).

This venture, if successful, could deem very beneficial to the firm in both securing revenue streams and improving market share/exposure. With this in mind, T3D has claimed that the partnership will be in "addition of a 3D data capture and digital vertical for T3D" with "Significant revenue opportunity in the promotional activation space."

“The digital vertical is one that we see as a natural partner for our 3d printing services. This agreement with TBF, as well as presenting T3D with significant revenue opportunities as a stand alone activation technology, provides the bridge between the digital and physical worlds allowing us to explore and develop additional revenue streams.”

Only time will tell if T3D will heat up The Big Freeze in the Australian Market.
