Cults is the 1st independent marketplace that connects designers and people who want to make some real objects with technologies like: 3D printing, CNC machining - Laser cutting, Papercraft & Origami, Sewing pattern, and Electronics - PCB.
Cults is dedicated to all owners of 3D printers, CNC machines and laser cutters who wish to make premium and original creations.
Because everyone doesn't have an artistic soul or the ability to use CAO 3D software, Cults highlights the work of these designers who will make 3D printing and maker technologies accessible to all.
Cults is a social network that brings together all the fans of the 3D printer world, so that they can interact with each other.
Cults also stands for generosity. Thanks to the Promotions category, all 3D printing aficionados can find coupon codes to buy 3D printers, filaments, 3D scanners and many other accessories at the best prices.
So why such a name? Cults is an anacycle: read backwards it becomes St. Luc, patron saint of artists and sculptors. Read backwards you can also find .stl, the universal 3D format. In short, Cults seemed obvious to us.
