This week members of the Community and Marketing team at Shapeways are heading to the California to participate in tech community events and host Shapeways meetups. While we wish we could cover all of California this time, we’re excited to be hosting two meet ups: in Stanford on Wednesday, April 2 and in Ventura on Friday, April 4.

We’re thrilled that the Stanford d.school will be hosting the meet up on April 2 that will include a very informal show and tell to kick off the event. Please bring your design or projects to share if you would like to present. Care to join us? Please RSVP here on our Meetup page.

I’ll be headed to Ventura to speak at the Craftcation, conference for creative makers and indie business owners, over the weekend. I thought I’d take the opportunity to organize a Shapeways meet up while I am there, as I really look forward to connecting to our community members. I’ve put together a very casual get together Friday evening. Please bring projects to share, questions to ask, and friends who are curious about 3D printing and design. You can RSVP here.

We look forward to some fun in the California sun with you. If we’re missing your town this time around and you are interested in organizing an event for local Shapies in your area, please get in touch with me!
