3D Hubs, based in the Netherlands, is a leading online manufacturing platform that leverages its global network of manufacturing partners to respond to customers’ production needs. More precisely, it provides industrial 3D printing, CNC machining, injection molding and sheet metal fabrication services. The company believes the future of manufacturing lies in distributed manufacturing, enabling engineers worldwide to create revolutionary products more quickly and efficiently, with the ultimate goal of accelerating innovation in every industry. One of the key benefits the 3D Hubs online manufacturing platform offers is its instant quoting system. Designed to deliver a frictionless user experience, the AI-driven platform bases its unit prices on several thousand data points.
Today, it’s obvious that 3D printing goes far beyond the individual maker. The number and range of industries using 3D printing as an industrial technology to produce both prototypes and end-parts is skyrocketing. Also, the relatively young technology can no longer be considered as purely a prototyping technology, even though it’s clear it will not replace traditional manufacturing methods for very large series production. Despite this, 3D printing is becoming mainstream – transforming our current production methods with its impacts on design, time-to-market, customization, supply chains and pricing. Multiple demanding sectors, such as automotive, aerospace, medical or advanced robotics are adopting this technology for industrial applications.

3D Hubs’ platform facilitates and accelerates production
The growing popularity of 3D printing is why 3D Hubs provides an intuitive online platform that facilitates production with various 3D printing technologies, in addition to other main manufacturing technologies such as CNC machining, injection molding and sheet metal fabrication. The platform allows users to upload a CAD file, define their necessary requirements, and then receive an immediate quote. The company also reviews and provides actionable feedback on the manufacturability of the part through its Design for Manufacturability tool. Once the part is uploaded, the order can be placed with the push of a button.
