A cafe in Shoreditch, East London, allows users the opportunity to have a coffee whilst printing their creations using 3D systems' CubeX 3D printers and laser cutting printers, with the help of Hobs Studio. Customers will have to bring their own laptops to the café. They are encouraged to brainstorm for ideas there, then either make their creations with open-source 3D design software, such as Rhino or Google SketchUp, or pay the café to create the file in the software for them.

Once the design is complete, the staff will print the items out in-store, or off-site at Hobs Studio.
