What Google, Bing or Yahoo did for searching and finding content and information on the internet, new search engine IFind3D will do for printable 3D models. Users consider the launch of the search engine to be a huge step towards maturity of the consumer 3D printing industry.

After a developing period of 1.5 years 3D Ninja, the largest reseller of 3D printers in The Netherlands, officially launches http://www.ifind3d.com, the world's largest search engine for 3D printable models, containing 740.029 designs. IFind3D combines all online libraries for 3D printable models in one fast and responsive engine, making it easy for end users to find 3D printable models.

The 3D market is booming. 3D printers are starting to get more affordable, even for consumers. Quality consumer grade 3D printers can already be bought for as low as 300 USD.

The developers of IFind3D compare the increasing market with the early days of the internet.
