Introducing Hydra Direct

Announcements

Hydra Direct is a rebranding and simplification of our on-demand 3D printing service. We hope you like our new logo :)

We are launching a dedicated website for our 3D Print service called Hyrda Direct. We felt that our current website is over cluttered and to enhance the experience for our 3D print service customers a simple and focused website would be best.

End Of 3D Printer Manufacturing

General, Announcements

After 5 years of developing and producing our line of Hydra Research printers including the Nautilus and the Minnow, we have made the difficult decision to wind down our printer manufacturing business. We have decided to focus solely on our on-demand 3D printing services.

Case Studies

Elemental Upgrade - ElementDriven

Case Studies

Jeff, the co-owner of ElementDriven, launched the company based on his Rear-Seat Floor-Latch Covers, a product that enables owners to get full use of their Element’s floor when they lift or remove their rear seats. Manufactured out of heavy-duty 16-gauge steel, they maximize the cargo space of the Element by securely leveling the floor to make it usable for transporting furniture, pets, kids, and more.
