3D-Printed Subscription Boxes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

'Cubeforme' is a Subscription That Delivers Monthly 3D-Printed Gifts

— February 10, 2016 — Lifestyle
3D printing technology is responsible for slowly reshaping major industries like transportation and healthcare, as well as products like clothing, printed gifts and decor. However, there seems to be a huge part of the population that has yet to see a 3D printer in action, let alone come into contact with a 3D-printed object. 'Cubeforme' is a new subscription service that's helping to bridge this gap by sending out an assortment of inventive 3D-printed items each month.

Cubeforme makes a special effort to celebrate the designers behind its incredible creations and uses its boxes to educate the public about the possibilities of 3D printing. As well as being novel items to have in the home, the printed gift items inside make great gifts to pass on to another friend or loved one.

The first two themed Cubeforme boxes to be released were: Jim Rodda’s Adventure Box and Steven Dakh’s Artisan Box.
Trend Themes
1. 3D Printing Subscription Services - New subscription services that deliver monthly 3D-printed items to customers are on the rise.
2. Consumer 3D Printing Education - Subscription services that showcase 3D-printed items are providing a unique opportunity to educate the public on the possibilities of 3D printing.
3. Designer Spotlight Subscription Boxes - Subscription services that celebrate the designers behind the 3D-printed items they deliver are becoming more popular.
Industry Implications
1. E-commerce - E-commerce companies can explore offering 3D-printed subscription box services as a new product offering.
2. Consumer Goods - Consumer goods companies can use 3D printing to innovate their product lines and explore offering a subscription service that delivers items made through 3D printing.
3. Technology - Technology companies can utilize 3D printing technology to develop and showcase new consumer products and offer them through subscription services.
