Bambu Lab announced a new 3D model sharing site, currently in beta testing, to compete with Printables, Thangs and Thingiverse. The company hopes MakerWorld will simplify 3D printing for all users, even those who do not own a Bambu Lab printer.
The site aims to remove technical barriers to 3D printing by providing end users with pre-sliced models and tuned filament profiles that will match with any brand of 3D printer. To do so, they will lean heavily on the volunteer efforts of a community willing to share their knowledge. A reward system will offer points for “every interaction” that can be redeemed for models, filament, gift cards and printers.
