Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) has entered into a pact with Sandboxr to allow the customers print customized 3D images of Video game characters. Now, one can easily print 3D images of the characters from Primal Carnage, Infinity Blade, and Smite.
In last June, Amazon has introduced a 3D printing store and offered access to the customers for the tools like CAD (Computer Aided Design) Software, filament, and others. It has also unveiled a number of 3D printed images including lamps, jewelry, and Raspberry Pi Cases that can be customized according to your needs. It was a gimmick to showcase the 3D printing potential.
The users can tailor the characters and animate with the help of a widget by choosing up to 40 characters from three well known videos. You can use the personalize button to tweak the game character. One can preview the creation before placing a purchase order. The 3D printing price varies from $30 to $90.
The 3D printing is still in the infant stage. The market for 3D printing has increased by almost 70% in the previous year. It has generated revenues of $3 billion last year alone. Most of the consumer companies are adopting 3D printing.
