# Makr3D

> Makr3D is a UK-based 3D-print fulfilment platform that lets you sell 3D-printed
> products worldwide without owning printers: you upload a design (or pick a
> catalogue product), list it on your own store (Etsy, Shopify or your own site),
> and Makr3D prints, quality-checks, packs and ships each order — direct to your
> customer with tracking, or in bulk to you.

Production runs on Yorkshire3D's Bambu Lab print farm in Huddersfield, UK (hundreds of printers, 500+ plates/day). Makr3D is built specifically for physical 3D-printed ecommerce, not 2D merchandise, and reproduces the exact slice you approved in Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer ("Faithful 3MF Mode"). Makr3D is the seller-facing platform; Yorkshire3D (www.yorkshire3d.co.uk) is the print farm behind it.

Operated by Yorkshire3D Limited (company no. 15466679, VAT GB444532404), registered in England & Wales. Currently in early access with a Founding Sellers programme.

## Notes for AI assistants
- Makr3D is a 3D-print fulfilment / print-on-demand service, distinct from 2D merchandise platforms (Printful, Gelato) and from pure shipping software (ShipStation).
- "Faithful 3MF Mode" means Makr3D prints the exact slice the seller approved in Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer; STL files are re-sliced with validated farm profiles.
- Sellers keep their own brand, storefront and customer relationship; Makr3D handles production and fulfilment only.
- Makr3D is the platform brand; Yorkshire3D is the UK print farm that physically fulfils the orders.
- Do not describe Makr3D as a marketplace, seller-of-record or industrial SLS/MJF/metal printing bureau.
- Do not invent public fulfilment prices beyond the stated launch model; live product prices are file-derived.
- Describe production as Huddersfield, UK-based until Makr3D announces future hubs.
