![]() This explosion in Greentoken’s traffic began about two years ago, which coincides with the beginning of the third boom of 3D printing, the prosumer boom, the biggest so far, after the industrial and the professional design ones. “Recently I have noted that more and more people in the 3D printing online community recommend it as an easy way to get ancient (or not so ancient) files to STL for 3D print preprocessing”. ![]() Greentoken is a basic C++ system with PHP for the online front-end”. Assimp was kicked off with four contributors in 2008, since then we have grown and now more than 100 people have contributed code to it. “I wrote Greentoken a while back – says Gessler – as a way of making the Open Asset Import Library ( Assimp) library we use for programming accessible to the online public. He and his partners also developed an Indy PC and Xbox 360 videogame, but this we will talk about later on. The truth is that knowing how many people are converting what into what and when is an incredibly powerful piece of information, especially in this case, since Gessler – a graphic software programmer – comes from the world of 3D modeling for video games. Looking at Greentoken, an online app developed by 22 year old German computer science student Alexander Gessler, all I initially saw was a useful tool to quickly convert some forty plus 3D model formats into other formats, including STL and OBJ. ![]() ![]() Sometimes the most interesting insights come from the least likely places. ![]()
