myminifactory, a leading 3D file marketplace based in London, has announced the acquisition of 3DC, the company behind on-demand manufacturing service provider唯一的游戏.
Founded in 2017, Only-Games specializes in the 3D printing and delivery of tabletop gaming models. The backbone of the business is a robust order management system that customers can use to purchase original 3D printed miniature assets on-demand, with rapid delivery times to boot.
通过此举，Myminifactory希望启动它所指的内容MetaReverse,which is the concept of reconnecting the virtual and physical worlds. In essence, the firm will leverage Only-Games’ infrastructure and enable its community of independent 3D designers to sell their models as both digital and physical products. Win-win.
Nebo Nikolic, CEO of MyMiniFactory, commented, “Following the community’s demand to buy and sell physical products, I am excited to close this acquisition. It is also a pleasure to welcome Alex Ziff (CEO of 3DC) as co-CEO and the 3DC team. Alex has impressed me with his drive, attention to detail, and ambition to serve the community.”
Myminifactory的生态系统不断增长
自2013年成立以来，Myminifactory迅速发展成为3D创意人与世界分享他们的作品的首选平台。该文件市场采用数千种免费和付费的STL型号，使其成为桌面3D打印社区的关键枢纽。
myminifactoryofficially launched its Store in 2018, giving 3D designers the power to monetize their work with ease. A major selling point of the platform is the fact that designers keep 90% of their sales revenue, so it’s not hard to see why the community continues to grow year on year.
More recently, the company also rolled out its部落订阅服务. The system allows tabletop hobbyists to support their favorite 3D designers directly on MyMiniFactory, enabling a direct link between creators and makers. Additionally, the firm has also garnered success with its Crowdfunding Campaigns, with big-time projects such as豪华3D印刷钟表和Scan the World’s 3D printable sculptures.
What does the acquisition mean for users?
As a natural next step, MyMiniFactory looked into the delivery of physical 3D printed models for the millions of potential users that may not have their own desktop 3D printers at home, eventually deciding on the 3DC acquisition to propel the MetaReverse.
在收购之后，所有Myminifactory设计师都将可以选择以数字和物理格式出售其模型。该公司将监督所有制造，包装和交付，最初关注桌面型号，难题，棋盘游戏和RC汽车零件等游戏资产。
On the other side of the coin, Only-Games customers will immediately have access to a huge catalogue of 3D printed models from the parent company’s indie creator community. MyMiniFactory asserts that designers will continue to receive fair and transparent royalties from all sales, and will be able to make use of Only-Games’ packaging customization service for full control of their work’s branding.
Ziff得出结论：“到目前为止，这是一段旅程，没有我的团队，这是不可能的。我毫不怀疑，这是我们和整个社区的正确决定，以满足我们的共同野心。我感谢Nebo和他的团队欢迎我成为他们的联合首席执行官。”
