Manyfold
ActivityPub-powered tool for storing and sharing 3d models
Manyfold is a web application for managing collections of 3d models, with a focus on the needs of the 3d printing community. It is designed to be self-hosted, and lets users browse, organise, and analyse their downloaded models. With NLNet’s support, the project has recently launched federation features using ActivityPub, progressive transmission of 3d models, and a wide range of core feature enhancements. The next phase of the project will build on this base to create richer social features, better ways to get models into and out of the system, features to help financially support creators, and improvements to search and discovery features, all of which will help build an open, decentralised ecosystem for 3d model hosting.
