Supporting the America’s Cup
Here at 3D Hub, we’ve been working on exciting project after exciting project. This year, we've been creating media stands, microphones, and mast head units for the America's Cup. The AC75 America's Cup boats are cutting-edge racing monohulls, designed for speed and agility. In this image, you can see where the components 3D Hub designed and manufactured are. For more details on our America's Cup projects, read the case studies linked below.
Latest news and projects
Ceracell had the great idea to create a Beast Blocker that clicks into their other hive products to protect beehives from hornets, wasps, and robbing bees and more in a cost effective and chemical-free way. Ceracell trusted us to bring this idea to life. There were many knowledgeable stakeholders feeding into the design of this product which made the design and review process important to the success and financial viability of the project. We built simple models that could be iterated quickly. Only once the design was approved did we work on preparing the design for manufacture, then tooling, and finally production. This approach was the best way to keep costs down and iterate quickly so all stakeholders could add maximum value. Ceracell is an amazing Kiwi business that had an excellent idea that we were proud to help bring to life!
We enjoyed the process of designing these Stone Guard Visor Cab Skirts and Airkit for Visor Distributors, a repeat customer of ours. We started off by completing a highly detailed and accurate 3D scan of the cab. We built styling surfaces to achieve the desired visual design, received approval from the customer, then created viable products that our customer can manufacture successfully. Visor Distributors appreciates that 3D Hub is a one-stop-shop for 3D Scanning, Reverse Engineering and Product Design services. We're efficient and design high quality products. Thank you to all our returning customers. My team and I are grateful for the relationships we have built over the years and look forward to another year of delivering excellent inventive product design services.
3D Hub recently partnered with ZeroJet, an electric propulsion system manufacturer whose jet tender systems are quieter, cleaner and require less maintenance than petrol and diesel outboard motors. 3D Hub reviewed the intake design to ensure it would achieve their requirements. We then manufactured a small volume of the part in the materials we recommended. These were urethane cast with over-molded threaded inserts. The design included a grate with stainless steel bars and urethane ends that fit into their jet propulsion system. It was rewarding to partner with another Kiwi business to deliver their inventive product design and make their manufacturing journey as smooth and efficient as possible.

Client Testimonials
“I cannot speak highly enough of the Team at 3D Hub. From concept discussions to initial design and concept printing, they took a thought/idea and turned it into a tangible product design. Their professionalism and knowledge have been of great assistance throughout the product journey. The insight the Team brings is invaluable and I look forward to further projects with them."
Paul Morrison
“I have enjoyed working with the team at 3D Hub on four different projects. Each time they have been brilliant at helping me take a concept and turn it into 3D design files and 3D printed prototypes ready for testing. They have gone the extra mile to ensure that we have a product that is ready for commercialisation and they have been very happy to make the refinements that were required to ensure that we had a top quality product. I give 3D Hub my highest recommendation for their professional approach, attention to detail and very fair pricing.”
Wes Braddock
“I used 3D Hub and they were easy to deal with and very informative and had a can do attitude. I was working with getting a heavy battery being scanned and they were more than happy to work with me and the results were great at a reasonable price. They were so easy to work with I was able to arrange it from Australia!”
