243 makers in 28 days.
Numbers updated hourly. Everything you see has come from word of mouth and a few maker communities — no paid ads, no sponsored posts.
On April 9, 2026 I launched Stimalo on my own. I shared it in a few Italian 3D-printing communities, in two or three international forums, and with the makers I knew personally.
On April 14, five days later, something clicked: 54 signups in 24 hours. Then 40. Then 22. In three days we went from a handful of pioneers to a real community.
Everything below has happened without spending a single euro on marketing.

I'll be honest: these aren't huge numbers. We're a young product and the traffic is still small. But the curve is going up week by week, with zero spend, just word of mouth — and that's what matters most right now. Every visit, every signup, every share you do is what's making this real.

Marketplace activity What's happening between makers and clients
Catalog grown by the community Printers and materials added by users + curated baseline
If you're reading from outside Italy
I'm telling you straight: the "Find a maker" marketplace is still Italy-only. The roadmap says we'll open it worldwide as soon as the foundation is solid. Multi-country SEO pages and a way to group makers by region are already in preparation.
In the meantime, the dashboard (quote calculator, jobs, warehouse, clients, materials) is fully available in English from any country. Keep using it — your feedback shapes the worldwide rollout.
The next 90 days Three concrete goals
Double the Italian base
When the maker count hits critical mass, client requests start flowing. We need volume to make the marketplace self-sustaining.
Open the marketplace abroad
Starting with Spain, France and Germany. Multi-country SEO, regional aggregation, the same product translated.
First paid social campaigns
To reach makers outside the organic communities. Modest budgets, transparent reporting on this very page.
Your 30 seconds change everything
Stimalo works when the site moves. The more people visit the marketplace, the more job requests reach you. It's not marketing: it's how networks work. Share once and it helps everyone.
