Pinshape, a next generation 3D printing community marketplace, is one of the many companies participating in the conference by way of announcing and demonstrating a strategic partnership with 3DPrinterOS. In fact, Pinshape is one of 60 startups selected from 600 applicants to compete in the PITCH competition at the Collision Conference as well as being, according to the team, the only 3D printing marketplace being represented at the two day event. Outside of the competition, the partnership with 3DPrinterOS will make it possible for users to stream designs from the Pinshape marketplace direct to print for the majority of today’s desktop 3D printers. As the team says, it’ll bring unprecedented compatibility to the 3D printing community and simplify the click-to-print experience for consumers. John Dogru, the CEO of 3DPrinterOS, sees this partnership as a step forward for designers, who are now able to finally unleash their work to the world in a secure and compatible way across multiple platforms. His goal, he says, is to radically increase adoption of 3D printing, and that means a future where 3D printing simple means clicking print. For the rest of the crew at Pinshape, this partnership means that the doors will be blown open for even more companies and brands to enter the 3D printing industry.
