3Dponics Inc.

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.
History and 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. The printable parts of the hydroponics system include Sprinkler head, clips, conduits and nozzles and are downloadable from the company’s website.
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.
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.
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.
3Dponics provide an online community service, where members can share and post pictures and videos of their hydroponics systems.
* 3Dponics Inc. was awarded One of the top 10 greenest gadgets at the International CES 2015.
