A network built for professional 3D printing services
Our network of manufacturing partners brings together highly professional and specialized 3D printing shops. The 3D printing partners we work with are immensely skilled at manufacturing prototypes and production-grade parts using technologies including Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) and Multi Jet Fusion (MJF). This network of experienced and passionate additive manufacturers can produce parts using specialized printers like the Stratasys Fortus line, EOS P390, Markforged Mark 2, HP MJF 5210, 3D Systems Project and Viper line. So no matter what kinds of parts you need, we have access to shops with professional capabilities and limitless capacity.
Industrial 3D printing services for production & tooling
3D printing technology has developed from a cost-efficient process for rapid prototyping. There are now many bigger, more advanced 3D printers for larger batch sizes of parts and for using materials other than polymers. Technologies like industrial FDM and SLA, SLS and MJF are being used for more industrial purposes, such as higher-volume production and tooling. 3D printing is optimal for creating cheaper molds for injection molding, which overall cuts down the cost of mass-producing plastic parts. Industries like automotive, medical, electrical and even toys use industrial 3D printing technology as a viable alternative to traditional industrial processes like CNC machining and injection molding. With 3D printing, you can accelerate and reduce the cost of industrial-scale production.

FAQ's
How much does your 3D printing service cost?
The cost of your 3D printed parts depends on factors such as part volume, part complexity, choice of material, which 3D printing technology is used, and if any post processing is required. For more details on these cost factors, see our article on the cost of 3d printing. To check the cost of your 3D printed part, simply upload a CAD (.STL) file and select your material and 3D printing technology to receive a quote within seconds.
How can I reduce the cost of my 3D prints?
In order to reduce the cost of your 3D prints you need to understand the impact certain factors have on cost. The main cost influencing factors are the material type, individual part volume, printing technology and post-processing requirements.
Once these have been decided, an easy way to further cut costs is to reduce the amount of material used. This can be done by decreasing the size of your model, hollowing it out, and eliminating the need for support structures.
To learn more, read our full guide on how to reduce the cost of 3D printing.
How do you guarantee the quality of my prints?
Your parts are made by experienced 3D printing shops within our network. All facilities are regularly audited to ensure they consistently meet the Hubs quality standard. We include a standardized inspection report with every order and offer a First Article Inspection service on orders of 100+ units.
We have partners in our network with the following certifications, available on request: ISO9001, ISO13485 and AS9100.

How do I select the right 3D printing process for my prints?
You can select the right 3D printing process by examining which materials suit your need and what your use case is.
By material: if you already know which material you would like to use, selecting a 3D printing process is relatively easy, as many materials are technology specific.
By use case: once you know whether you need a functional or visual part, choosing a process is easy.
For more help, read our guide to selecting the right 3D printing process. Find out more about Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Stereolithography (SLA).
Where can I learn more about 3D printing?
Our knowledge base is full of in-depth design guidelines, explanations on process and surface finishes, and information on how to create and use CAD files. Our 3D printing content has been written by an expert team of engineers and technicians over the years.
