Our manufacturing capabilities

With hundreds of manufacturers in our network, we have a very broad range of manufacturing capabilities and support both one-off prototyping and low-volume production. We pride ourselves on being the go-to manufacturer for geometrically complex parts or highly cosmetic parts.

Milling, turning and post-processing

  • Tolerances down to ±.0008 in (0.020 mm)
  • Lead times from 5 business days

FDM, SLA, SLS, MJF

  • ±0.5% dimensional accuracy with a lower limit down to ±0.59 in (0.15 mm)
  • Lead times from 1 business day

Laser cutting, bending, post-processing

  • Tolerances down to ±.004 in (0.010 mm)
  • Lead times from 5 business days

Prototypes and production tooling

  • Wide range of part complexities and sizes
  • 1 to 1M parts

The Hubs manufacturing network

We have both local and overseas sourcing teams working closely with manufacturers that have a proven track record of making high-quality parts. As our global network provides virtually limitless capacity, your parts go directly into production at the most competitive prices.

After production, all parts are closely inspected twice*. Once at our manufacturing partner’s facilities and a second time at the Hubs quality control facility in either Chicago or Amsterdam. Within 24 hours, parts are cleared from customs and shipped from our facility to their final destination.

* All 3D printed parts are produced locally and only inspected at the manufacturing partner. These ship directly to their final destination.
