3DLT.com Launches at TechCrunch Disrupt NY 2013

CINCINNATI - April 29, 2013 - PRLog -- 3DLT, a 3D printing template marketplace, launches today at TechCrunch Disrupt NY 2013. 3DLT.com is a marketplace where industrial designers, companies, and makers can sell 3D printable designs, direct to consumers.

Lux Research predicts 3D printing will be an $8.4 billion industry by 2025, up from under $1billion in 2012. Research firm Gartner believes that enterprise-class printers priced below $2,000 will be available in the market from as early as 2016, and some low-end printers, including the MakiBox, are already available for less than $200.

3DLT provides files - the blueprints for 3D printable products. Consumers can visit 3DLT.com and browse through multiple, well-curated categories of 3D printable designs. Once purchased, they can download and print-ready files on their own 3D printer. They can also send the designs they buy to 3DLT’s network of 3D print shops for local pickup or drop shipment directly to their door.

3DLT’s business model has the potential to change the way we shop,” Mr. Arellano says. Walmart made shopping easier by putting millions of products, all under one roof, closer to the consumer. Amazon took the next step of delivering to your doorstep. 3DLT goes even further by allowing you to choose, when, where, and how the items you buy are manufactured.”
