3D Hubs has produced more than 3,000,000 parts since the company was founded in 2013.

Many of these parts were manufactured specifically for automotive applications. The unique nature of 3D printing has made automotive design easier and cheaper than ever before.

How automotive 3D printing has changed the industry

Every vehicle goes through a complicated design and development process: individual parts must be engineered and tested for weight, structural integrity and aerodynamic suitability. Previously, sourcing prototypes and detailed parts was expensive and time-consuming. Complicated meshes and tubing structures incurred prohibitive costs that could raise the price of a vehicle by thousands of dollars. Engineers had to spend time negotiating quotes and waiting for production; if the part didn’t work, the cycle started anew. Thanks to online 3D printing , automotive design has become easier, faster […]
