3D Hubs to start accepting bitcoin

3D Hubs, a large 3D printing solutions service, has announced that it will accept bitcoin as payments method, as supported by its existing association with Adyen.

Adyen collaborated with with BitPay in February to facilitate a bitcoin payment option for its clients. It processed more than $25 billion in transactions in 2014.

The company noted that bitcoin and 3D printing are alike in the sense that both are innovative and disruptive technologies. Bitcoin aims to eliminate the middleman from financial transactions, while 3D printing desires to make sophisticated manufacturing available to the masses in their homes and offices.

The company said, "This partnership connects Bitcoin,­ a decentralized currency,­ to 3D Hubs' decentralized manufacturing network, further strengthening the global movement towards decentralized industry."
