Abstract
In current systems, only one consumer can personalize a product using a single session or at a single device (e.g., a computer, mobile device). In an embodiment, a method includes providing, at a user device via a network, a user interface displaying a three-dimensional (3D) model of a consumer product selected by a user. The method further includes customizing the 3D model of the consumer product based on selections and manipulations of the consumer product received at the provided user interface from at least two users. The method further includes, responsive to finalization of the customized 3D model by one of the users, submitting the customized 3D model for 3D printing. In this manner, multiple people can collaborate to create a single 3D printed product.
