Let us introduce you to the newest ladies in Long Island City.
Our factory underwent a makeover last week when production
team member,Greg Dreisen, decided that the machines needed names.
Unsure how the idea first came to him, he explained that he
spontaneously decided that all the machines needed to be old ladies.
In particular, four machines have taken on the identities of an iconic group of old ladies. The printers, now known as Dorothy, Sophia, Rose and Blanche, are now the Golden Girls of LIC. We are having so much fun with our old lady machines, and we don’t plan on stopping now!
The newest Shapeways printer has landed in New York. Help us welcome the P395 printer, and send us your name ideas for the newest old lady!
