CADIGO

Cadigo is a multifaceted 3D printing resource platform and community targeting mass consumers who have access to 3D printers, or simply want to learn more about 3D printing. Cadigo is split into three parts but with an unequal emphasis. The main emphasis is a 3D model repository, where users can upload or download 3D computer aided designs without cost. The secondary emphasis is media, achieved by offering articles, 3D printing related editorials and videos; all of this will be reinforced by existing social media platforms. The tertiary emphasis will be facilitating a user driven community by hosting open forums, the introduction of an application named “Tiles”. User driven communities are a crucial aspect for user retention.
