Design Store for Desktop 3D Printer Designers Preview Coming To 2014 3D Printer World

Online, January 28, 2014 (Newswire.com) - With the incredible growth of Desktop 3D Printers arrives the opportunity for modelers and designers to create amazing ideas to come to life and get paid for their efforts. Everything from fun designs likes snowflakes, sculptures, and creatures, to more practical designs like cups, iPad stands, smart phone cases, planters, and more can be uploaded and sold.

MatterHackers' "MatterControl" software will enable an integrated solution that both provides a clean, friendly interface to printers from multiple manufacturers and allows the consumer to buy and then directly print those designs. This provides the designers a clear path to monetize their designs straight to the consumer's printer.

"The MatterControl Design Store gives designers a place to post and sell their unique 3D designs. A place where they can set the price, control the distribution and provide for secure delivery" said Lars Brubaker, CEO of MatterHackers, "for the consumer, MatterControl automatically syncs into their library. The consumer doesn't have to search their system to find the designs. Their library will always be available, whether locally or in the cloud. Every print is guaranteed to be printable."

MatterHackers located in Irvine CA, sells 3D printers and 3D printing consumables. 3D printer manufacturers use their "MatterControl" solution to provide a clean, standard and consumer friendly user interface to their printers. Designers use "MatterControl" to create and upload their designs/models as well as monetize the models like a developer who sells their applications on Apple's App Store. 3D printer users use "MatterControl" to shop, purchase and print 3D designs just as they use the App Store for mobile apps.
