Fabalu is a German marketplace for printing 3D models. It provides a platform connecting designers with 3D printing service companies. The website's revenue comes from a monthly fee + 3~5% for each customer paid by 3D printing service providers.
For example, if you want to 3D print something:
- Upload your 3D model to the website and fill in wish list with specifications (because: you can choose to print in metal, ceramics, gold, biobased plastic, clear plastic, glass and other materials)
- Your 3D model is then sent to the appropriate 3D printing service (because every service company has different printers: there is difference in size, quality, materials etc)
- Then you will get different quotes from each 3D printing service company
- You can make your choice now: cheapest, best quality, fastest delivery
- Afterwards you can comment or rate the print service
Watch the video below the introduction of the Fabalu site.

@DscheyH Sorry for that, We changed our name as we're still in the very beginning of setting up the business. Tnx for providing the right link!

I am irritated. The featured website fabalu.com shows something quite different as announced. However, the described service can be found on http://www.fabbeo.de/.
3Ders.org provides the latest news about 3D printing technology and 3D printers. We are now seven years old and have around 1.5 million unique visitors per month.
