We have a number of 3D modeling tutorials on the Shapeways site and we are running a number of classes in the Shapeways Skillshare School but there are more 3D applications out there than we at Shapeways know how to use. Many of you are experts in 3D software we have never even seen so it would be foolish of us to create tutorials in every application, but it would be AWESOME if you would like to share your tutorials with the rest of the Shapeways community. Whether it be an Instructable or a YouTube video, a step by step in the forums or something on your own site.
If you have a tutorial you have already made that you would like to share, please leave a comment with link on the blog and we will re blog it. If you are interested in making a tutorial for a particular application, a post processing technique or anything related to 3D printing, please get in touch via the blog, we would love to help you share your ideas.
I recorded tutorials for some of the curriculum I created for the Shapeways 3D modeling classes.

Sketchup – Customizing an iPhone case

I’ve also decided to release the Heart-Shaped Box I created for the January Shapeways class. It was originally just to demonstrate the idea rather than for public viewing, so it moves a little quick, the sounds lags a touch, and it starts with “Hi Ana”. Other than that it’s very useful.
