3D printer manufacturer Elegoo introduces an open-source 3D model platform that will help creators across the world easily share and download 3D models. Named Nextprint, the platform aims to encourage a global creative hub that streamlines printing workflow for all-level 3D printer users.
How does it work?
Optimized for Elegoo printers by combining official model libraries with user-generated content, Nextprint is integrated with Elegoo Slicer and OrcaSlicer to ensure a smooth workflow from model selection to printing with most 3D printers in the market.
It also aggregates 3D models from other platforms, making it easy to browse and download high-quality models without switching between platforms.
The process will be made accessible for everyone, regardless of their skill levels or printer preferences. This is possible because hundreds of thousands of creators contribute their designs.
We greatly value each creator’s contribution to Nexprint community and encourage them to keep sharing their most creative and original designs, Elegoo says in a press communication.
They will be rewarded with the following benefits:
- A points-based rewarding system for creative designs.
- Regular competitions with prizes for standout designs.
- Priority exposure and platform-wide recommendations for top 3D models.
- Dedicated support channels, including support tickets and community engagement, ensure rapid feedback for creators.
“Nexprint is more than a platform—it’s a hub where creators can connect, innovate, and bring their ideas to life, while offering everyone seamless access to a world of inspiring models and immersive experiences,” said Ryan Siu, VP of Elegoo. “Our vision is to build an open, collaborative ecosystem driven by community feedback, empowering creators at every level to share, grow, and shape the future of digital creation. We’re really excited for what’s ahead.“
