3D Printing Startup Kraftwurx.com bringing education, awareness & opportunity for 3D printing to CG

Feb. 17, 2012 - PRLog -- 3D model printing, prototyping and even movie props are all within easy reach of every small studio and CG artist around the world. The variety and quality of 3D printed models and the materials available to the 3D printing artist are also growing yet the use is still limited to those with knowledge that the general CG community has not yet mastered.
There is no doubt that 3D model printing for many needs by CG artists will change the way movie studios obtain props and how CG artists can use 3D printing as a new outlet for displaying their works for others. Recently, a new trend has emerged where CG artists are selling their models as 3D printed products and earning money every time someone sells a design, much like you have been doing for many years with digital content when selling your model files. The primary difference is that 3D printed products made from your 3D models have a broader audience than simple digital content and CG artists stand to reap the benefits.
Founded in 2011, Kraftwurx™ is a new portal for CG artists to learn about and experience 3D printing worldwide. Kraftwurx is touted to be the world’s community and marketplace for 3D printing in the cloud. Company founder, Chris Norman says that; “3D printing is not very hard to learn to use, but it is more difficult to use it to its full extent without proper training and education”. Kraftwurx wants to serve the CG artist market need and has developed its platform to both educate and provide an outlet for everyone to get involved in the movement. Kraftwurx is a combined marketplace and social network community designed to provide these services. The site is growing daily with people around the world signing up and participating in community discussions, forums and making friends.

Kraftwurx has a lot to offer too. The site has a real time chat system that translates languages so you can actually make friends worldwide and learn about 3D printing from them. The site has videos, tutorials and active forums to provide you with learning and education that will help you get involved in this hot new trend.
Not only does the site provide a great community and forum for discussion but it also has a very robust marketplace where CG artists and designers can upload their models, which are validated that they can be printed and made available for sale worldwide. This means you can earn money from your designs in an entirely new way. When someone buys your model as a3D model print, you earn a sales commission. Upload lots of content and you stand to earn a nice dividend from your existing model library. To learn more, visit www.kraftwurx.com.
