Hubs is a Netherlands-based platform providing on-demand entry to a world community of manufacturing companions. An April 2022 report by Hubs titled “3D Printing Development Report 2022” (PDF) addresses “adjustments and technological shifts within the 3D printing market.” Information for the report is predicated partially on 3D Hubs’ international survey in 2021 and 2022 of producing engineers.

The survey requested these engineers about the important thing elements for selecting 3D printing for components.
