This is important because it shows 3D printing can reach the broader consumer market and it demonstrates that content is king in any dimension," said John Carrington, CEO of ZVerse.

His experience in software and e-commerce will strengthen our applications and accelerate growth in 2015."

Their technology, customer acquisition success and portfolio of licensing partners has allowed them to bring 3D printing to consumers clamoring for content that they can relate to. They have a great vision for the company and they've shown the ability to execute quickly."
