3Dponics Inc. is an Ottawa-based tech lab that develops 3Dprintable parts and customizable hydroponics systems for the home and garden industry. The 3Ddesign files are free and accessible across 3D-printing marketplaces for open-source collaboration.[1]

History & background

3Dponics is based on the idea to use an open sourced hydroponics system that can grow fruits, vegetables and flowers in a small space using 3D printable parts and recycled materials.[2] The printable parts of the hydroponics system include Sprinkler head, clips, conduits and nozzles and are downloadable from the company’s website.[3]

In 2015 3Dponics launched 3Dponics Customizer app to allow MakerBot users to design 3D printable hydroponic gardening tools and change the shape, size, and orientation of a number of 3Dponics printable hydroponic planters.[4][5]

In 2015 3Dponics released the 3-D printing plans for a medical marijuana growing planter. The digital designs and CAD models, can be downloaded from the 3Dponics website and then 3D-printed and assembled.[6][7][8]

3Dponics provide an online community service, where members can share and post pictures and videos of their hydroponics systems.[2]

Awards

  • 3Dponics Inc. was awarded Most Successful Application of 3D Printing by IDTechEx in April 2015.[9]
  • 3Dponics Inc. was awarded One of the top 10 greenest gadgets at the International CES 2015.[10]
