3D Printing Resources
This page is continuously under construction.
We’ve spent nearly a decade in the trenches of additive manufacturing compiling the most useful 3D printing information the internet has to offer. Now we’re sharing these resources with you and our community.
Below you’ll find connections to maker communities, 3D model databases, and educational resources.
We’ve got makerspace, hackerspace, incubator, and fablab connection information as well.
This resource page is a living document and is updated daily. If you think we’ve missed an important resource worth sharing or a link has stopped working, please scroll to the bottom of this page and provide a brief description and a link through the submission form.
This also serves as a dumping ground for cool ideas we come across but don’t have the time to implement.
