3D Hubs is a network of 3D Printers, providing local access to 3D Printing in almost every neighborhood in the world. Think Airbnb for 3D Printing.
We've just unlocked our 3D Printer community to the public by releasing Teleport, our 3D Printing API. With this API anyone can now integrate 3D Printing in their website or app and send digital designs to over 16.000 3D printing locations in the world.
We thought it would be interesting to open up our network to see what 3D Printing will be used for when we put it in the hands of designers and developers. Hopefully Teleport will contribute to bringing production back to the place where products are used.
I’d love to hear feedback and brainstorm about potential use cases.

@briangarret you're among techies, so the AirBnB for 3d printing is not necessary ;) But how awesome! So which partners are you aiming for at a consumer level? Sites like Etsy or Fancy connecting with your API?

@milann thanks! With the API we're (of course) targeting big companies like Nike, Ikea or indeed Etsy and Fancy.
At the same time it gives a lot of power to product designers and App builders. They can easily integrate this and allow people to print content they make or unlock in-App, especially cool for Games like MineCraft etc. Designers on the other hand don't have to worry about stock, distribution, packaging or investments in molds. Really curious to hear and see what people come up with!
