DIGITAL UNICORNS

REF. -

Advances in 3D printing has allowed for costs to plummet, while evolving capabilities to print complex surfaces, multiple materials and vibrant colours. This has seen a steady rise in 3D printed designers and modelers around the world often working as independent artists or representing small companies. Despite the emergence of marketplaces like Shapeways to buy and sell 3D Model Designs, there are no formal mechanisms in the industry for effective IP management and value generation for the designers, and models once sold can easily be copied and replicated. This makes the 3D design industry economically unsustainable. The Digital Unicorn is an entrepreneurial initiative to develop an NFT Based Ecosystem for value creation for 3D Design Creators.
