3D Hubs, a network of over 23,000 3D printers worldwide, has just announced 3D Hubs HD to make industrial-grade 3D printing available locally.
“At 3D Hubs, we’ve learned how inaccessible industrial-grade 3D printing can be – including long lead times, hard-to-reach support teams and high shipping costs”, the company explains in their announcement. This is why they decided to launch 3D Hubs HD, for designers to connect with industrial 3D printers in their area.
Approved Hubs will focus on communication with the customer in order to ensure both accurate production along with a fast turnaround time. Among the first Hubs to join are service providers i.materialise, Sculpteo and NRI. As one of the first materials available, 3D Hubs HD introduce strong and flexible nylon for Selective Laser Sintering (SLS).
“Through unlocking this tier of industrial-grade materials, we are now able to offer an end-to-end solution to our customers both large and small,” explains 3D Hubs co-founder Brian Garret. “By combining affordable desktop production with high-end industrial-grade services, the full spectrum of 3D printing is now becoming accessible.”
Through the end of this months, everyone trying the new materials will get a 30% discount.
