What our Community is Saying
Many of the things I design are so complex that they would not be possible using traditional techniques, and I love how 3D printing takes jewelry design to the next level.
[Shapeways] is our lemonade stand. Mostly to gain entrepreneurial muscles and work together. And we're having a blast trying it out.
Shapeways is easy to work with, and has the quality level and price that gives me the freedom to realize my creations in the way I want to.
I was able to prototype at such low cost, yet end up with a product that was great. Shapeways enabled me to take a finished product to investors &distributors.
