This platform helps you find 3D printing models -- an indication of just how many consumers have access to this relatively newer printing technology.
Currently in beta, Israeli startup Thinger boasts a cheeky slogan -- "find hot models for your lonely 3D printer," clearly poking fun at suggestive adult-oriented advertising prevalent online. From Ben Novak, the app (which is available on Google Play and the App Store, making it compatible with both Apple and Android devices) helps you discover new things to print on your 3D printer, in the event you are looking for new ideas and want to get creative. The new venture enables you to swipe through "gazillions" of available models that you can then download for free.
