PrintToPeer is building one API to print to all 500 different 3D printers on the market | VentureBeat | Gadgets | by John Koetsier
Summary
3D printing software, on the other hand, is a usability disaster that can make the Maker Faire dream a configuration and interoperability nightmare. “3D printing has a horrible user experience right now,” PrintToPeer cofounder Tom Bielecki told me last night. If they have multiple machines — as anyone who is adding new printers to an existing portfolio would — they are dealing with non-scalable problems when trying to flow print jobs through a single process. Bielecki’s vision is to enable organizations like that to simply print to a single API, abstracting away all the complexities of their various printers’ varying software and workflows. The company has been bootstrapped for a year and is currently seeking a round of investment, but Bielecki is also planning for a Kickstarter campaign next month.
