Shapeways is proud to sponsor Pioneer Works first Software for Artists Day on Sunday November 16th. The day-long event in Red Hook, New York will bring together artists and developers to illustrate the many new software and hardware tools available to contemporary art practice. It will involve lectures, demonstrations, and conversations which will demystify the most sought-after technology in use today.
Participants will be able to attend four 45-minute lectures over the course of the day and will also be able to participate in “soapbox sessions” in which they will have 3 minutes to present a project in order to attract interest and/or advice from other artists and technicians.
Shapeways will be on site with some products to show and tips and tricks about using the free software on our site.
Pioneer Works, Red Hook, New York
Sunday November 16th
10am – 7pm
Register here – hope to see you on Sunday!
If you can’t attend, here’s a brief preview of the software available on Shapeways now:
Shapeways API – The Shapeways Upload API enables web and desktop applications to submit 3D models and harness the power of the Shapeways marketplace. You can control pricing, available materials, and add markup to models that are for sale to our community. Read more about the Shapeways API or join us in our developer forum.
ShapeJS – This tool makes parametric 3D modeling accessible for programmers. If you know Java Script, you can use this tool to generate 3D printable geometry, ias simple as a few lines of code. Read more about the power of ShapeJS here, or jump into the discussion on our developer forum.
Need more inspiration? Check out these amazing 3D creator apps that have been made so far. Got a cool app you’re working on? Tell us about it in the comments!
Looks like a very cool session! Hope it went well. Like to see some of the resulting project pieces.
