Something about this seems so much better than sending a design out to another state to get it printed. (I mean, in addition to the fact that these printers are higher def.) Anyone know what substrate is safe for cats to gnaw on? I have unfulfilled visions of 3D printed cat toys.
This looks awesome team. Think I visited the site a year or so ago when it was very rough. It's come a long way since :)
Really curious how people will use services like this. Do you guys see the same types of prints being requested all the time? Are they mainly novelty items, or more practical ones (forks, spoons..etc)? Do you guys see this becoming a significant source of income for dedicated printing hubs?
3D printing will quite soon disrupt the manufacturing business globally, and the experience of the 3D Hubs team plus its strong positioning in the market will make it a leader in this (r)evolution. Thumbs up!
3D Hubs is a network of over 23,000 3D Printers, providing local access to 3D Printing in over a 155 countries. Think Airbnb for 3D Printing.
With the key patents for industrial printing having expired this year a new wave of machines are arriving. Instead of paying 200,000 dollars an industrial quality printer they can now be picked up for as little as 5K-20K USD. We expect these printers to change the landscape of manufacturing even further than the first wave of desktop machines.
Therefore were launching 3D Hubs HD, a platform to accommodate these industrial quality printers. Unlocking a wide range of new material and quality options that will challenge centralized 3D Printing providers on quality, speed and price.
We’re really curious to learn what you would use 3D Printing and 3D Hubs HD for.
Absolutely awesome. Love 3D Hubs. Got such a bright future ahead. Had the pleasure of meeting @briangarret and @bram_zwart at @balderton truly incredible guys with insane market knowledge! Sky is the limit for 3D Hubs!
Well, thank you for helping me learn about SLS! I'm still knocking out prototypes on my workbench FDM printer, but I'm rapidly approaching the stage where I'll need stronger, higher quality, and higher volume looks-like/works-like samples to put in the hands of some users. SLS might be the way to do it! My product will be two parts - one, some kind of polymer and the other a metal such as steel or aluminum. @briangarret SLS could hand the polymer component; do you have a suggestion for the metal component?
