After all the stimulus overload at DDW, we're feeling a bit of a withdrawal here at Shapeways. We had an incredible time meeting thousands of community members, designers, artists, and of course, the steady stream of locals who are lucky to call Eindhoven their home.

It was incredibly energizing to see everyone's excitement about personal manufacturing and 3D printing, from potters who were awestruck by the new and improved ceramics to the woman I met who was looking at a key necklace and was thrilled that she can now print a custom key for her rackety antique dresser. After seeing the creative wheels turn among 3D designers and non-techies alike, we're looking forward to the designs inspired by the show.
