The present disclosure provides a database and methods to allow users to download and/or upload scanned or raw data for objects from or into a database. The data relating to the objects will be stored in a design file on the database, and will allow for end users to print the objects on a 3D printer at their location. A fee may be charged by a manager of the database. The database will allow for sharing of images between health care providers so that they can reproduce and/or redesign the saved images to produce instruments, cutting guides, models, prosthesis for procedures that are specifically suited for their procedure and patient.
