Makerbot

MakerBot is a desktop 3D printer manufacturer, now part of UltiMaker, and the operator of Thingiverse, the largest online community for discovering, sharing, and downloading 3D-printable designs. MakerBot's public developer surface is the Thingiverse REST API (https://api.thingiverse.com), a Bearer-token / OAuth 2.0 authenticated JSON API that exposes things (models), their files and images, users, collections, categories, tags, and full-text search. Developers register an application on the Thingiverse developers site to receive an App Token or run the OAuth 2.0 authorization flow to act on behalf of a Thingiverse user. This profile was surfaced as a venture-backed company and enriched from its live API.

Makerbot publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, 3D Printing, Manufacturing, Thingiverse, and Maker.

Makerbot’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, authentication, signup flow, support, and 15 more developer resources.
