The firm's business model centers on simplifying low-volume manufacturing by providing a platform that streamlines the ordering process for customized components. Clients can upload their design files to the company's proprietary online portal to receive instant quotes for a range of manufacturing services. This tool is a key component of their strategy, aimed at making the procurement of parts more accessible. The business generates revenue by facilitating these manufacturing orders through its international network of suppliers.

3D Usher offers a comprehensive suite of manufacturing technologies to serve its clients. These services include 3D printing, CNC machining, injection molding, vacuum casting, metal casting, and sheet metal fabrication. The platform is designed to handle orders of any size, explicitly stating no minimum order quantity, which caters to clients needing prototypes or small-batch production runs. This flexibility allows them to serve a broad market, from individuals and startups to larger enterprises requiring custom parts delivered to their specifications. The company has noted a significant portion of its market resides in North America.
