 * Keep: I noticed that a number of the references were formatted incorrectly on the page, making an article's author show up as the publisher. Once the correct publisher is added, it looks to me like there is enough secondary WP:RS sourcing here to pass WP:GNG. Examples: Metro News Canada, High Times, Mic.

 * Delete as the first link listed above barely even focuses with said company, the second link then is essentially a sales pitch since not only is the name "From printer to plate: Tech company gives gardening new dimension"! (you may as well have added a video with a sales pitch, since that's what the name insinuates) this second link then actually goes to talk about the benefits and usage about the company and services with specifications and the photo is even supplied by the company (See the bottom which specifically lists "source: the company"; finally the same can be said about the third link since it's clearly focusing with only the company's benefits and services, but then containing information only the company would be interested to say: Since 3Dponics is an open source company, you can download every pattern you need for free, and once you rig 3Dponic's drip-based watering system to slowly feed your THC tower top to bottom with fresh water, you're good to go. So what does 3Dponics get out of this? Well, you can always subscribe to their delivery service, where they'll send fertilizer and lights to help your garden grow (no genuine journalist would be interested to say that unless he was either persuaded or enticed).

 * Delete per WP:TOOSOON and WP:PROMO. The tone of the article is advertorial, while the coverage I see is PR or PR-like, indicating that this company has not yet made sufficient impact to warrant an encyclopedia article. Awards listed are trivial and are there for promotional purposes. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:00, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
