The Eindhoven, Netherlands-based company is launching its private beta today for the service. The tool allows budding artists, product designers and amateurs to use their own familiar tools to create 3-D models of their designs. Then they can order 3-D physical models of the designs. The company will deliver the molded plastic models in 10 days or less.
