Known for offering one of the most simplified and intuitive 3D design apps available today, 3D Slash has given those less design-savvy 3D printing enthusiasts the opportunity to see their ideas come to life. Since launching back in 2014, 3D Slash has continued to expand their relationship within the 3D printing industry, gearing their 3D modeling app to be compatible with Sketchfab and the YouMagine community. Now, they are branching out further through a new partnership with the 3dfilemarket, which is an independent 3D printing group focused on the sharing of good 3D design. By implementing the "3D piece of cake" 3D Slash software into their community, 3dfilemarket hopes to show those without much experience in CAD design that 3D modeling is not out of their reach by any means.
"As an education advocate of 3d printing, I am extremely excited that the 3dfilemarket has partnered and integrated with such an impressive CAD modeling platform such as 3D Slash," said Philip Cotton, the founder of 3dfilemarket. "One of the major barriers to more people adopting the technology is the arduous task of learning how to CAD model. 3D Slash helps to solve this issue by being the only platform that is openly accessible to all."
The partnership will include a new "Create" section on 3dfilemarket, where users can now upload STL files into the 3D Slash app interface, allowing them to create and customize 3D models in a fun and simplified way. The 3D Slash software almost reminds me of Minecraft, in that both platforms make for relatively easy, but also efficient, designing. 3D Slash is an ideal starting point in design for kids especially, and is also free to use and completely linked with the 3dfilemarket. Once a design is created or modified on the 3D Slash modeling app, users can upload their design directly into the 3dfilemarket community. After a quick registration, 3dfilemarket community members have exclusive access to the 3D Slash app, and can quickly and easily share their 3D designs with one another directly from the modeling software platform.
"We are very happy to partner with such a qualitative platform as 3dfilemarket, and to provide their growing community with an accessible and precise 3D modeling tool," said Sylvain Huet, the founder and CEO of 3D Slash.
To me, this partnership should definitely help 3dfilemarket expand their community even further, as one of the most daunting parts of 3D printing (CAD design) has now been simplified by 3D Slash for those with no experience in 3D design. Together, 3D Slash and 3dfilemarket are working to ensure that no matter how little experience you have with 3D modeling, there is an easy-to-use platform (and a spot in the 3D printing community) just for you.
