Just Three Employees Will Operate New Factory With 100 3-D Printers at UPS Hub in Louisville, KY

On Monday, CloudDDM unveiled a 3-D printing factory embedded in the heart of UPS' worldwide hub in Louisville, Kentucky. The first-of-its kind, fully-automated facility will be able to use the tie-in to UPS to ship its products quickly.

"We'll have 100 high-tech 3-D printers running 24 hours, 7 days a week," said CloudDDM's founder Mitch Free. And it'll need just three employees: one for each of the eight-hour shifts. (UPS will handle all of the packaging and shipping logistics.)
