Mcor’s 3D printing technology represents an opportunity that many designers, entrepreneurs, manufacturers and educators will embrace the minute they know that it is available to them locally, at an affordable price and in the eco-way.”
APP has over 45 years of experience in the offset printing industry. It is located in the heart of Beirut’s Industrial City and employs over 100 people in the areas of pre-press, printing and folding and binding.

APP will provide a print bureau service by adding to their current printing offerings full-colour 3D scanning and printing, with the latest technology available on the market.
“After evaluating many 3D printers, we have selected the Mcor IRIS due to the fact that it is a full colour 3D printer that prints on paper, and paper is our business since 1968.” said Mr. Elie Raphael, Chairman and GM at APP. “We are very pleased with the colour quality of the IRIS machine, its precision in printing the objects and of course the fact that it is a green technology, it fits perfectly with our ISO 14001 EMS.”
