makeSEA for 3D Print Designers

Curate Your Designs, Collaborate, Share, Sell, Track, and more . . .

Fair Trade and Attribution for Independent 3D Print Designers™

makeSEA is a platform built by and for independent 3D print object designers to safely share and curate projects, including all supporting collateral and instructions as they evolve over time. When you register your intellectual property with makeSEA it remains yours ALWAYS –unlike other 3D print repositories and catalogs. Your project data can be for your eyes only, for team members or license holders only, or available to all, with easy to use access controls and reporting. We've got your back.

Get Recognized - Get Paid - You Deserve It!

makeSEA's Patented Digital Media Marking System workflow gives you Attribution with Pay®: tracking of nested attribution for all of your project contributions, and optionally, compensation for your hard work. With your permission, your designs can be mashed up or embedded deeply into others and resold while ensuring you get proper credit for your contribution. makeSEA helps to be vigilant about monitoring the reuse of your designs and preventing unauthorized use. Think about it, the project combinations and your opportunity to seed designs that are popular on their own, or as fundamental components of other designs is virtually unlimited! Go make something.®

Visit the makeSEA Mash Market® for Lots of Amazing Objects

As a makeSEA member you get access to exclusive collections of object designs. The Mash Market is comprised of tons of useful parametric objects, documentation and other supporting collateral to make quick work of modern 3D object design including fasteners, boxes, lids, motors, generators, wind turbines and much more! Curious about what exotic materials actually work? We've got you covered.

When you are ready you can share or sell your makeSEA Assets and Object collections and link them back to makeSEA for deep analytics and access control of your intellectual property. Or, keep them private and share only with select audiences.

If you choose to let others mashup and re-use your designs, makeSEA helps to ensure that you get attribution for future generations that evolve from your original work.

Important Hint!: The more re-mashable your designs are, the more likely they are to be popular in the Mash Market®.

Attribution for the long-term: let your designs evolve. Get credit.
