part was acceptable and fairly nice - there was one area where the radii were larger than would be preferred, but they confirmed that first. It would be nice in future if a smaller radii could be used... See more

The are two problems I have encountered with my three orders:
1. The parts are not made to print.
2. The CMM reports that I have requested were either incomplete or wrong. Didn’t catch the parts being made not to print.

1st experience with Hubs/Protolabs

The follow of my orders was flawless.
Parts arrived between 3 to 5 days ahead of schedule.
Quality at incoming inspection was good; I need to know the different surface finishes to get what I want.

Working with Steph and Hannah was great. They were very supportive and helped us find the best price and time frame for our project and delivered all the parts needed when they said they would. They also helped us track down our shipment when it appeared to be stuck in shipping.

Order Review for HUBS Manufacturing

Order Review for HUBS Manufacturing

HUBS delivered exactly what we needed: top-notch 3D printed parts with outstanding quality. The parts were precise, consistent, and honestly the best we've ever seen. We used their HP MJF technology with HP PA 12 material, and the results were flawless.

Gabrielle VanBeaver, our account rep, made the whole process smooth. She was attentive, proactive, and ensured everything went according to plan.

Overall, we're thrilled with HUBS. Great parts, great service—definitely recommend.

Great service overall

They quoted a fair price and were able to manufacture to our specs. Lead time was not the shortest but acceptable. Their platform is user-friendly, they can manufacture from STEP files without need for 2D drawings.

Good parts

Good parts. In order something is hard to produce, they open an issues and ask with a possible solution. Most deliveries are on time, and if not, there will be a communication with a reasion why.
Over all very professional store. Thanks

DO NOT TRUST THESE GUYS

LITERALLY CHANGED THE DIMENSIONS OF MY MODEL AND PRINTED WALLS AT VARIABLES THICKNESS'.

OFFERED NOTHING TO COMPENSATE OTHER THEN A REPRAINT OR REFUND.

NEVER. USING. THEM. AGAIN.

Machined components for testing

I purchased several machined components for an assembly to do some testing.

The process to order and costing is good.

The only flaw with the service is that specifying tapping of holes or specific tolerances is not included without some extra steps.

Delivery issues

Product and quality was good. Had delivery issues on an urgent part we paid extra to expedite. Ended up being several days late, delaying our project.
