Printrbot launches a new iPhone App "Makrz", a community of "Makers" sharing open source files for 3D printing, laser cutting and machining (CNC).
With Makrz's simple interface you can easily browse all available rendered 3D models and 2D drawings. When you find the type of model you look for you can download and save it to your Dropbox account.
Features:
- All Sketchup files are automatically rendered in the same high quality format
- Gesture based navigation. Swipe right or left to scroll through featured files
- Landscape or horizontal viewing modes
- Download Queue and Download history keep you informed of your activity
- View frequently updated Featured models
- New and noteworthy items based on recent uploads
- Popular items based on actual downloads
Printrbot is working on adding more features to the app, such as community tools for crowd-sourced tagging, photos of completed projects and vetting; user uploads and sharing images and/or files via Dropbox, Twitter, etc.
The MAKRZ is available for download on iTune.
Printrbot is a DIY personal fabrication company founded by Brook Drumm. He created PrintrBot, a simple DIY 3D printer designed to have a minimal number of parts that anyone, even kids can assemble them. In late 2011, Drumm's first Printrbot Kickstarter project raised $830,827 of its $25,000 goal.
