Today WhiteClouds, the largest full-color 3D printing cloud provider in the world announced the acquisition of Sandboxr, the go-to 3D printer and software developer of video game collectables.

It also ties directly into WhiteClouds existing software capabilities, further streamlining the company’s customization workflow while opening additional creative avenues.
