3Dponics Inc. is an Ottawa-based tech lab that develops 3D-printable and customizable hydroponics systems for the home and garden industry. The 3D design files are free and accessible across 3D-printing marketplaces for open-source collaboration.[1]
History and background[edit]
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]
In November 2015, 3Dponics in association with GrabCAD organized a challenge for GrabCAD users to create an eco-friendly 3D-printable gardening part that can be used with one of the existing 3Dponics systems.[9]
3Dponics provide an online community service, where members can share and post pictures and videos of their hydroponics systems.[2]
Awards[edit]
- 3Dponics Inc. was awarded Most Successful Application of 3D Printing by IDTechEx in April 2015.[10]
- 3Dponics Inc. was awarded One of the top 10 greenest gadgets at the International CES 2015.[11]
