Threeding is an online marketplace and community for the exchange and sale of designs and templates related to 3D printing and modeling. The platform allows users to create personal storefronts where they can list and sell 3D-printable models to a global audience. It is one of several repositories within the 3D printing industry.[1]
History
[edit]Threeding was founded in 2013 by Stan Partalev, Cveta-Maria Partaleva, and Tony Kiitpov. Stan and Cveta-Maria, a brother-and-sister duo, were students at the National Academy of Arts in Bulgaria when they came up with the idea for the platform. Their goal was to create a marketplace where users could easily exchange 3D-printable files, contributing to the growing 3D printing industry. The team’s background in the arts and design enabled them to curate a diverse collection of 3D models, attracting global interest.[2][3]
Since its inception, Threeding has grown into a leading platform for exchanging 3D-printable models, offering users the opportunity to set up personal storefronts and sell their designs to a global audience. The marketplace has become particularly well-known for its partnerships with museums and cultural institutions across Eastern Europe, allowing users to access 3D scans of historical artifacts.[4]
3D printing of cultural heritage
[edit]Several Eastern European historical and archaeological museums, including the Regional Museums of Varna and Pernik in Bulgaria, have entered into cooperation agreements with Threeding. Through these agreements, Threeding 3D scans museum exhibitions and artifacts from their permanent collections, allowing the museums to offer digital 3D scans for sale via virtual stores. The available 3D printing models include historical artifacts and architectural features from prehistoric, ancient, medieval, and modern periods.[5][6][7][8]
