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.
