3D Hubs Raises $7M in Series B Round to Expand Global 3D Printing Marketplace

3D Hubs, the world’s largest online marketplace for 3D printing services, announced recently the completion of its Series B financing, totaling to $7 million and led by EQT Ventures, and backed originally by Balderton Capital.

In addition, Ted Persson, Design Partner at EQT Ventures, will be joining the 3D Hubs Board of Directors.

The round will allow 3D Hubs to progress its efforts in developing a connected network of 3D printing services to support the company’s advanced growth pertaining to its professional user base.

3D Hubs proves a more seamless experience for product designers and engineers to find the right 3D print solution for their beta testing and prototyping and small production runs in over 180 countries.

“We were inspired by the profoundly positive impact that online marketplaces have had on many industries, and we wanted to establish that same marketplace for 3D printing,” said Bram de Zwart, CEO and cofounder of 3D Hubs. “Our team of investors has a deep understanding of online marketplace dynamics, and we’re thrilled to announce that EQT has joined us in our mission to decentralize manufacturing.”

“We’ve only seen the beginning of what 3D printing will offer, and 3D Hubs is by far the most well-positioned company we’ve encountered in this space. We are very impressed with what Bram, Brian and the rest of the team have managed to build in just under 3 years, so when EQT Ventures was invited to support their future journey we didn’t hesitate,” said Ted Persson, Design Partner at EQT Ventures, who will join 3D Hubs Board of Directors.

“It’s rare to see a company that has such an immediate disruptive effect on both software companies and physical supply chains. 3D Hubs has already started changing the way designers and producers think and work.” said James Wise, who led the investment at Balderton Capital.
