About

3DHUB specializes in all Additive Manufacturing in all verticals, offering 3D printing, 3D scanning and 3D Design services. Based on the experience and deep technical expertise of running the largest 3D service bureau in Balkans, 3DHUB also acts as direct distributor of selected 3D printers/scanners and consumables covering all segments and verticals, plus top support/training services. 3DHUB is also involved in R&D and in particular on the topic of using metallic powders recovered from recycled PCB’s to develop 3D printable filaments for use in FDM 3D printers.

Solution & Product

The Additive Manufacturing technologies we specialize in, can accelerate the RND progress of new products by shortening the iteration cycle, making faster proof of concept prototypes and test units of new devices within days instead of months. Also by using 3D printing technologies we can bypass the logistic problems by decentralized individual construction of parts without the need of time consuming shipping or need to stock. This became evident to the wider public during the first stages of the pandemic where 3DHUB was able to quickly produce and supply >35000 of 3D printed face shields to hospitals and the ministry of health in Greece. Our technologies have also great impact on health and dental sector due to the personalized nature of medical items & prosthetics.3DHUB is also involved in green R&D projects such us the recovering of metallic powders from recycled PCB’s waste to develop 3D printable filaments as well as developing novel solution for using recycled precious metals in jewelry.

Innovation & Scalability

3D Printing and 3D scanning technologies are still evolving and are being considered innovative and lead in cost and time reduction and also in waste reduction due to the nature of the technology of using only the required material and not subtracting from a large piece of material. 3D also has no limitations in produced geometry. Traditional manufacturing methods typically require larger volumes of inventory to be produced and warehoused at one time. New innovations can be created and revised quickly since 3D printing is an iterative process. Lead times can be reduced as a result of being able to produce goods relatively quickly. Single items can be produced inexpensively without incurring the mold and tooling costs of traditional manufacturing. Our approach has a dual nature. We are both distributors of 3D solutions and also providers of 3D services. This model has advantages for both directions. Being daily heavy users of the equipment allows us to have the hands on experience and offer unparallel support to our customers when we sell them equipment. Also our direct relationship with the manufacturers as distributors gives us access to technicians and deeper knowledge that allows us to offer our print services more efficiently. Other advantage over competition is the variety of materials (even biocompatible) and ease of serving all different verticals with the same equipment when in standard manuacturing this would require huge investment to change the production line.
