As a Designer, you can create a webpage where people can see and buy the designs you've uploaded. All files and images are hosted on bee3ds.com so you don’t need to worry about building a website or storing your design files anywhere.
As a Maker, you can create a webpage where people can see your work and sell your 3D printing services.
We handle all the technicalities behind hosting and selling your content and services.
Bee3Ds costs nothing to use. You are free to create pages, upload your designs and provide 3D printing services without ever having to pay anything.
You get to decide how much you want to support us by choosing what percentage of your sales you want to share with us.
Your support goes towards our operational costs and continued development of the platform.

No, we are not printing on-demand service, as 3DHubs.
They mostly work with business and provide printing services, we, on the other hand, sell the complete product to customers. It is like going to IKEA, but you shop online and you wait for it to be printed, and then you get it delivered to your doorstep (Ikea is just an example, we don't intend to make furniture, only lamps and simple to print items).
No, they work with designers, and we work with both makers and designers.
As a designer, you can sell your designs to interested customers, makers, and other designers. You can choose how much to charge for each download. As a maker, you can provide 3D printing services to customers interested in buying the complete product (design + 3D print).
