The team also announced that New Matter will have an online store for the MOD-t and noted, “It’s going to be unique for one big reason: you’ll be able to download (or buy) all kinds of new objects that’ll make 3D printing relevant to your life. The store will feature customizable models and limited edition items created by talented designers and artists. There’ll also be parts you can use to creatively repurpose every day objects in your house or office.
