Hubs is a collaborative production platform for 3D printer owners and 3D makers.Today, we’re already providing over one Billion people with access to 3D printing within 10 miles of their home.


RADICALLY CHANGING HOW WE MAKE AND DISTRIBUTE THINGS

Digital manufacturing machines such as 3D printers are becoming the factories of the future. They enable consumer products to be made on­-demand and much closer to their point of purchase, eliminating waste from overproduction and transport. Hubs is accelerating this future by giving everyone direct access to 3D printers worldwide.


THE TEAM

Hubs was founded in 2013 by Dutch design engineers Bram and Brian. They both started their career at Freedom Of Creation in 2009, the pioneering company that was the first to use 3D printing to create actual end-products. After the acquisition by 3D Systems in 2011 they became involved in the design and launch of their new consumer platform.

Fast-forward to 2015: Hubs has raised $4.5M in investments led by Balderton Capital and expanded the team to 35 people located in New York and Amsterdam.
