3D Printing Trend Report
Our story
2013
Bram de Zwart, Brian Garret, and Filemon Schöffer joined forces to establish Hubs. Originally known as 3D Hubs, our goal was to connect 3D printer owners with people who want to print. This concept led to the realization of a global network of 3D printers that would unlock this available capacity to the world.
2017
As our business evolved, so did our services. We expanded beyond 3D printing to include CNC machining, injection molding, and sheet metal fabrication to offer a comprehensive range of manufacturing solutions.
2021
Hubs was proudly acquired by Protolabs, the renowned leader in fast custom manufacturing. Learn more about Hubs on our about us page.
