Prestige Project Management Inc. v. Peri 3D Construction

Circuit Court, Saline County, Illinois
Filed early 2025
Nature: Contract dispute — deposit recovery

Prestige sued to recover a roughly $590,000 deposit forfeited on a canceled printer order, arguing the paperwork it signed was a mock document rather than a binding contract. A default judgment favored Prestige in August 2025 after Peri 3D did not respond — though the court itself questioned whether the sum would ever actually be collected.

What "the docket" means here

3DCPLAWSUIT exists because 3D construction printing sits at the intersection of two hard things — unproven building technology and the very ordinary business disputes that follow any capital-intensive industry: wage claims, contract fights, IP disputes between manufacturers, and bankruptcy.

Each entry links straight back to the court record or reporting it came from. We keep the summaries short and factual on purpose.

A note on allegations

Filing a lawsuit means making a claim, not proving one. Where a case is pending, nothing on this page should be read as an adjudicated finding of fact. Defendants are presumed to contest the claims against them unless a judgment or settlement says otherwise.

3DCPLAWSUIT is an independent, unaffiliated legal-news tracker. It does not provide legal advice and is not a law firm or lawyer-referral service. Verify current docket status directly with the court or via PACER before relying on anything here.
