Model marketplaces
Many marketplaces end at the download. Add an order button, so a buyer without a printer gets the object.
Your marketplace, creator store or app already has the models. Add the step after the download: quote any file, sell it at your price on a hosted checkout, and we print it near each buyer and ship it.

Selling models on Patreon, Gumroad or your own site? Sell the printed version too, at your price.
Configurators, generators and scanning apps already have the file. Turn it into a delivered product.
Upload a .stl, .3mf, .obj, .step or .stp file up to 250 MiB and get its production price back.
Your first 10 ready quotes are reviewed. After that, every new file can be ordered without review.
Send your buyer a hosted checkout at your price, or pay the production price yourself and charge them your way.
Each order is printed at the production center nearest the buyer and shipped with tracking.

}Examples from our public OpenAPI contract.
Your users order from you. The order mode decides who takes the payment.
In checkout mode you set the sales price per unit, never below the production price. We return a hosted checkout link, open for 24 hours, that charges your price plus shipping, and VAT for EU and UK addresses. When the order is completed, the sales price less the production price and the card fee is credited to your wallet.
In wallet mode you pay the production price plus shipping from your wallet, and a shortfall is charged to your saved card. Use it when your platform already has a checkout, a subscription or a marketplace fee of its own.
Since June 10, 2025, Etsy requires items made with tools such as 3D printers to come from the seller's own original design. Original designers are now the people who can sell those prints, and many would rather sell them from their own site, store or platform. TCT Magazine on the change.
| Option | Where it falls short for a platform |
|---|---|
| Production in one country | Parcels to buyers abroad cross borders, with longer delivery and customs at the door. |
| Apps for one store platform | Tied to that platform, so a marketplace or your own site cannot use them. |
| Managed fulfillment programs | Set up with each customer, which suits large brands more than a platform with many small sellers. |
| Industrial print stores | Nylon or metal parts in materials home printers cannot use, rather than FDM consumer products. |
| 3DAPI | A self-serve API for any platform, with your own price on a hosted checkout and each order made near its buyer. FDM in PLA and PETG only. |
Comparing named services? See 3DAPI against each one. Selling your own designs from your own store? 3D printing on demand for sellers needs no code.
Printing, packing and shipping 3D printed products for someone else, order by order. Through the API, your platform sends the model and the address, and we make and ship the order.
Yes. Quote each file and order it. After your account's one-time approval, new files can be ordered without review, so models uploaded by your users work the same way. Only print what you or they have the rights to sell.
Your choice. In checkout mode we return a hosted checkout link, open for 24 hours, that charges your buyer your price plus shipping, and VAT for EU and UK addresses; when the order is completed, the margin goes to your wallet. In wallet mode you pay the production price and shipping and charge your buyer on your own checkout.
Worldwide. Production runs in more than 10 regions, and shipping is priced by destination and volumetric weight.
We print FDM in PLA and PETG. Resin miniatures, metal, painted finishes, electronics and injection molding are outside what we make.
You can use it, but 3D printing on demand for sellers is likely a better fit: list your products once and connect your store, with no code.
