Project Description

  • Our mission is to connect 3D artists with tools - both hardware and software - they would otherwise not be able to afford to access.

 

  • Quality printers, washing stations, curing stations, and modeling software are all required to successfully create a 3D product. Not only is having access to all of these things expensive, it is also difficult for a student or hobbyist to have space for the hardware or proper ventilation and temperature control. This leads to artists outsourcing many of these processes, or results in an environment dangerous for the artist's health. Buying products for the printing process requires trips to several stores, or defaulting to buying products online that cannot be compared or tested in person. We aim to create a hybrid Creative-Space and retail shop, dedicated to the 3D modeling and printing process, where all of the artist's needs are met in a single safe environment.

 

  • Oregon is an state not only home to companies like Laika and Nike 3D, but also has a large community of 3D hobbyists. I am also part of several 3D communities that have expressed need for such a space. This means there is an established consumer base ready to serve. Furthermore, the community is growing exponentially. Many high schools and colleges in the area have 3D printing courses and at least one 3D printer in the building. In other words, the consumer base is expanding directly from public education.

 

  • We are seeking funding to get the business started. The spending would go towards retail space rental, computers, printers, washing stations, printing products for retail, work stations, installing HVAC to create a safe and temperature controlled space, and training for employees.

 

  • As of now, my team consists of two co-owners, and a few small business mentors. I hope to grow my team to include specialists that can assist students or beginning artists with any modeling and printing needs.

 

  • This is a service that is long overdue for the growing 3D community. Thank you so much for taking the time to consider funding my campaign! Any and all donations are highly appreciated.
