3DHoudini is the first marketplace to apply a freelancing platform model to the manufacturing industry. Freelancing sites have been extremely successful in empowering the “little guys,†a.k.a. freelancers, by giving them access to a global market. In the manufacturing industry, prohibitive costs prevent a large and capable segment of nontraditional suppliers from accessing the market. These nontraditional suppliers are businesses with downtime on equipment, and those we call the “freelancers of manufacturing.â€
These freelancers are typically small shops or sole proprietors who operate sophisticated manufacturing equipment made affordable by advances in technology. 3DHoudini gives traditional and nontraditional manufacturers and service providers low-cost market access, while giving buyers on-demand solutions for sourcing parts and services at the lowest prices.
Making Business Transactions More Successful
Let’s face it: many things can go wrong during a business transaction. We would like to think that manufacturing can be achieved with a click, but most of the time, it’s not that easy. 3DHoudini offers a suite of features to make business transactions online more successful. We took features that the freelancing geniuses of Fiverr and Upwork spent a decade developing, then tailored them to fit manufacturing! As a result, the 3DHoudini platform is packed with powerful features that no one else in the online manufacturing industry has. These market-specific features appeal to manufacturers of all sizes, allowing for better communication, a customizable order process that mirrors real-world manufacturing and security features that protect both parties and avert bad actor situations.
