Two local Southern California college students, Kyle Pham and Nick Nguyen, are hoping to start a monthly subscription service for 3D printing enthusiasts.

They started a kickstarter campaign to raise $5,000 to help their company CubeForme which aims to ship a monthly box of 3D printed items to subscribers. Much like the beauty subscription made famous by Youtube star Michelle Phan and Ipsy, subscribers will be shipped a box of their favorite designer’s work, along with other materials that relate to 3D printing.
The subscription service will cost $9.99 per month, with 10% of the commission going to the featured designers. The first three designers to be featured once the Kickstarter campaign is complete will be Jim Rodda.
Pham and Nguyen have been friends since second grade, and are currently in college. Nguyen, a Computer Science and Engineering major at the University of California Irvine, takes care of the technological and design aspects of the newly launched company, while Pham, majoring in Cognitive Science and Philosophy, Politics and Law at the University of Southern California, handles business and marketing.
Support pledges of $9 or more will get you the first month’s box, which features the designs of Jim Rodda. The campaign runs until October 30th as they seek to raise $5,000.
