Cults is a French marketplace connecting 3D model creators and Internet users who want to do 3D printing.[2][3] This platform allows designers to share their 3D files (in .stl, .obj, .cad format) for free or in paid mode. Owners of 3D printers can then download these digital objects and 3D print them.
Cults is also a social media for 3D printing enthusiasts to interact with each other.[4]
General[edit]
Cults was created in 2014 and is the first non-group affiliated 3D printing file platform.[5]
The name "Cults" is an anacycle: written from right to left, it becomes St-Luc, patron saint of artists and sculptors. Written in the same way we also see ".stl", a 3D file format commonly used by creators.[6]
Partnerships[edit]
In 2015, La Poste established a partnership with Cults to develop the 3D printing website impression3d.laposte.fr. This allows you to 3D print objects and receive them by package.[7][8]
In 2016, Boulanger partnered with Cults to develop open source system "Happy 3D".[9] The multimedia and home appliance store wishes to allow its consumers to print their spare parts free of charge to repair their own products. Cults provides distribution of 3D object files. The partnership allows "Boulanger" to be part of a responsible consumption approach.[10][11]
