RapidToday has an interesting analysis of a new service, Fabber’s Market, which intends on linking designers and manufacturers – with an emphasis on 3D printing and other heavy-duty rapid manufacturing tech. The service operates somewhat like eBay, where you must choose between the roles of a “Supplier”, where you seek clients for your parts, and “Designer”, where you seek parts from Suppliers.
Barnaby’s analysis is similar to ours; let’s wait and see what happens with this service. They seem to be doing the right things, but it’s a hard market to crack as they must compete with the giants of manufacturing exchange such as the galactic-sized Alibaba.
