SelfCAD 's mission is to make 3D designing and printing accessible to everyone, including professional designers, as well as hobbyists and students who have little to no prior expertise using CAD/CAM software. One of the greatest achievements of SelfCAD is its simplicity and a low entry price point. Advanced shapes can be created within minutes using various shape creators.
SelfCAD is an online browser-based CAD/CAM platform which allows the you to model, sculpt, slice and print online. With SelfCAD, you do not have to spend months learning complex software and pay hundreds of dollars for the privilege. SelfCAD is about simplicity, affordability and accessibility. Learn, create, and print objects in a fraction of the time required with traditional CAD/CAM software.

| 3DBenchy model |
 |
| 3DBenchy models printed by +BjörnMarl to benchmark the left sliced with Kisslicer, on the right with Slic3r. He writes: "Both are within specs by 0.05mm, but the surface looks quite different. Also with Kisslicer the name on the rear of the boat is almost readable, no chance for that with Slic3r." |
What is #3DBenchy?
#3DBenchy is a 3D model specifically designed for testing and benchmarking 3D printers. It is a small recognizable object that you can download for free, make and share.
About #3DBenchy
#3DBenchy is designed by Creative-Tools.com as a calibration and torture-test part for 3D printers. Here you can download the STL-file and read more about 3D printing. #3DBenchy is licensed under a Creative Commons License.
It is a handy tool to convert 3D models from one file format to another (i.e. FBX to OBJ or OBJ to STL for 3D printing, DAE to JSON for use with WebGL, ..).
Supported input file formats include 3DS, FBX, Blender, OBJ, DXF, LWO, STL, PLY and more than 25 others. Output formats include Collada, 3DS, X, OBJ, PLY, STL (Text and Binary), JSON (Assimp2Json) and more. You can upload up to 5 files with a total size of 50 MiB.
This service is forever free.

Crowdrooster is a new rewards based crowdfunding site for people who want to make and back new technology products.www.crowdrooster.com
How are we different?
First of all Crowdrooster is all about tech goods. That’s right, cool physical things people will want to back then own.
We’re creating the ideal crowdfunding project tools for the Maker Movement to fund their creations as well as creating a discovery hub for people that love new tech.
Volumental is the world's first cloud-based 3D scanning service. Volumental's online service lets anyone create 3D models of people, objects and rooms. With only a few clicks you record a short film that we convert into a 3D model within minutes. The models can easily be shared online, downloaded, edited and printed in 3D or used in virtual environments. Volumental offers tailored solutions to solve companies' specific needs for simple and robust 3D scanning.
3D printing website, 3DaGoGo, has launched their new ‘Communities’ feature to help the growing number of 3D printing designers network, engage, and create communal storefronts for their designs.
With over 59.2 million 3D printer design downloads estimated for 2014, 3D printing has not only amassed tremendous consumer interest, but also triggered a considerable number of professional and career 3D printing designers to emerge onto the scene.
The highlight of the ‘Communities’ feature on 3DaGoGo is the communal storefront. Any designer, or group of designers, can create a ‘Communities’ page and decide on the membership profile. They will then be able to upload and manage a communal storefront where all the members’ designs are showcased in one location.
This communal storefront will automatically populate from the designs in each of the members’ storefronts. Other features such as the ability to select which designs to showcase, highlight featured designs, and set up forums are in the process of being developed and will be added later this year.
What is Sproutform?
Sproutform is a community for discovering and sharing great 3D printable designs. We're using a new approach and fresh ideas to move beyond printing desk toys and trinkets and enable the community to design, discover, and print objects that have a more substantial value in our lives. We believe 3D printing should work within the context of our own lives to enrich them by enabling the design and creation of accessories, addons, and customizations for the objects we use every day.
Why Sproutform?http://sproutform.com/physibles
- Community moderated designs enable you to find the best stuff to print.
- Discover the best designs for you. As you explore, rate, stash, and download designs, sproutform learns what you like and shows more of it.
- Share your designs with the community. Get karma. Make the front page.
- Host and share your designs here free of worry. Sproutform will never claim to own your designs or share them without giving credit to you.
