About STLWorld
We're on a mission to make 3D printing accessible to everyone by creating the world's most comprehensive search engine for 3D printable models.
STLWorld exists to bridge the gap between 3D model creators and makers worldwide. We believe that amazing 3D designs shouldn't be scattered across dozens of platforms, making them hard to discover. Our platform aggregates the best 3D printable models from across the web, making it easy for anyone to find exactly what they're looking for.
Our Values
We prioritize the needs of our community - both creators and makers. Every feature we build is designed to make the 3D printing experience better for everyone.
We curate and organize content to ensure you find high-quality, relevant models quickly. Our search algorithms prioritize the best designs from trusted sources.
We're constantly improving our platform with new features, better search capabilities, and tools that make discovering and sharing 3D models easier than ever.
Our Story
STLWorld was born from a simple frustration: finding the perfect 3D model to print was way too difficult. As 3D printing enthusiasts ourselves, we found ourselves constantly jumping between different websites, each with their own search systems, file formats, and quality standards.
We realized that the 3D printing community needed a unified platform - a single place where makers could discover amazing designs from all corners of the internet. That's when we decided to build STLWorld.
Today, STLWorld indexes millions of 3D models from dozens of platforms, making it easier than ever to find exactly what you're looking for. Whether you're a hobbyist looking for your next weekend project or a professional seeking specific functional parts, we've got you covered.
Built by Makers, for Makers
Our team consists of passionate 3D printing enthusiasts, software engineers, and designers who understand the challenges of the maker community because we face them ourselves every day.
We're not just building a platform - we're building the tool we wish we had when we started our own 3D printing journeys.
