London-based 3D file marketplace,MyMiniFactory，已经为桌面业余爱好者发布了一项新的3D打印服务，但仍然犹豫要投入3D打印机。
The 2013 start-up is doubling down on its services catering to designers, makers, and general enthusiasts by setting up a separate marketplace for physical miniatures alongside its digital STL file marketplace which hosts over 100,000 3D printable designs.
The move is expected to be popular among MyMiniFactory users that do not yet own their own printer but would still like to use 3D printed miniatures for their tabletop games.
3D打印和交付
服务，‘3DPrinted & Delivered’, allows users to have their favorite 3D printable designs delivered right to their doorstep. The miniatures come professionally 3D printed and post-processed with the aid ofshop3d.io, an on-demand manufacturing tool for online e-commerce that makes digital files available in physical form through professional 3D printing and delivery. Shop3D.io allows individuals and small businesses interested in selling 3D printed objects to manufacture goods and take orders without having to store inventory. The collaboration between Shop3D.io and MyMiniFactory has made manufacturing and logistics of 3D printable files possible for indie designers.
该服务目前为3D设计师提供了40个微型：手工，印刷的痴迷和Armians，这是桌面社区中著名的独立设计师的三重奏。随着平台从目前的Beta阶段的增长和成熟，预计将在接下来的几周内提供数十个新型微型，并在管道中使用全彩3D印刷微型。
A marketplace for 3D creatives
MyMiniFactory set out with the goal of uniting 3D designers and makers on a platform that has grown significantly over the last few years. The company has seen its user base increase from 250k to 450k since the introduction of premium 3D printable files in June of 2018. Fans support their favorite designers with purchases and downloads of their guaranteed-printable 3D files.
The collaboration between MyMiniFactory and Shop3D.io stands to broaden their target market by catering not only to 3D printer owners but those who wish to purchase unique, professionally manufactured miniatures.
The start-up also provides apledge manager servicefor popular designers who are interested in crowdfunding. Tiered rewards for pledges are organized through this service, facilitating access and distribution on behalf of the designers so they can focus on the creative aspect of their work.
Nebojsa Nikolic, COO of MyMiniFactory, told 3D Printing Industry, “The rapid growth of the tabletop gaming market is an exciting opportunity for 3D designers. As crowdfunding numbers continue to increase, we’ve witnessed a growing interest in running campaigns for STL files. Our pledge manager provides the infrastructure for the 3D printing community to earn more money and spend less time managing their crowdfunding pledges.”
