3D printing + NFC tagging = a world of endless (and awesome) possibilities. <\/p>\n

NFC company Flomio<\/a> provides a new service that embeds an NFC tag into a 3D printed model custom designed by you!<\/p>\n

\"3D<\/a><\/p>\n

The process is simple. Send Flomio a .STL formatted file of your modeled object. Choose build size, NFC tag and plastic color (currently from white, green or blue). Then, if you approve of Flomio’s pricing, they’ll print out your model, tag it, test it and send it right back.<\/p>\n

Their current pricing is $0.50 per cm3<\/sup> with a $4 handling fee per item. Your chosen NFC tag and shipping prices are added on afterwards. The object build size must be larger than the NFC tag, with a maximum size of 15cm cubed. <\/p>\n

This service marks the beginning of a beautiful blending of “smart”
\ntechnology and 3D printing. You can create something that doubles as a
\ncute figurine and a portal into the world of AR gaming, automatic
\npayments, Android applications and the sort — what will you make?!<\/p>\n

Check out the brief video below to see it in action!<\/p>\n
