I think this is a super interesting company in the 3D printing space. The guys over at Zazzy have created a platform where anyone can design and sell their own 3D printed products. They started of with jewelry but are offering more types of products now (like phone cases). Time to start a PH store on Shopify @rrhoover? ;) cc @bentossell@Nivo0o0
Thanks for hunting us @bramk!
We’re happy to launch Zazzy’s first online shop integration with Shopify today!
We’re already the go-to marketplace where anyone can design and sell their own 3D printed jewelry and to their (social media) followers. With 60.000 people having already created 300.000+ items, we’re now moving beyond jewelry, offering more possibilities for custom 3D printed accessories and goods. Think key-chains, (gaming) figurines and phone cases. If you want to sell your own designs to your follower base, then Zazzy is the place to do it.
To make this even easier we’ve integrated our platform with Shopify, enabling 175,000+ paid Shopify shop owners to essentially dropship their own 3D printed goods through their existing shops. Now, fashionistas, bloggers, students, and creatives can design their own jewelry and other goods, create their own brand and sell to their online audience through Zazzy, on Shopify.
If you want to sell your own custom 3D printed goods just can install the Zazzy app from the Shopify appstore (https://apps.shopify.com/zazzy-live) to get started.
Would love to hear your thoughts, I’m around all day! :)
@gert_jan You mentioned you are moving beyond jewellery, however is there a criteria to what you can upload and sell? Also it doesn't make it obvious if Zazzy provides the printing? Do you only allow designs that can be printed with metal, stainless steel and nylon?
@thisdickie As clarification: at Zazzy we're aiming at being the complete end-to-end platform for product design: we have a couple of simple editors for particular products (various types of jewellery, keychains, phonecases, working on more) ready to use without any 3d-modelling skills. We're always actively looking for new collaborations, and also have a 3d-file uploader to try out new concepts.
You can currently sell products with (professional-quality) nylon, steel and various precious metals. Zazzy will do everything from payment handling, printing, quality control, assembly, packaging and dropshipping, so you'll only need to do the marketing ;)
@gert_jan this is great! love it,
i have 2 questions.
As a client i was thinking in a sunglass brand, how could we work together? i only have to submit the design to zazzy and then i printe it?
as a supplier for example i have a 3D printer can i work with zazzy to printe your products for you, or your costumers?
cheers
@jrdbacosta Thanks! We are not really doing sunglasses right now (that is a pretty hard product to make), but in general this is the case yes, you submit a design and we take care of production & fulfilment.
On the supplier side we currently work with a small group of printers to fulfil the orders, but of course when we grow we also want to expand our printer base.
I think this is a great solution to produce and distribute one's designs. My question regarding pricing is: I define the design, and based on some variables like type of product —jewellery, phone case, etc—, size, material, production, units, packaging and shipping, do you determine the base price and from there I set a profit wich is added to that base price, am I correct? Regarding delivery, just 2.87USD, anywhere in the world?! Lastly, how do you manage copyright infringement?
