  • The Creator models are ready if you like the result you see on your screen.
    You can save or order your creative outcome.

    We try to amaze you with new materials over and over again.

Order!

  • Go to your mydesign page, click on the model you want to order.

  • 10 working days later you have your model in one of the plastics.
    Stainless steel takes 14 working days.

  • Please remember that Co-creator models are remodeled with love and care from the
    designer and it will take some time to re-model the design you ordered.
    That is why delivery times and dates stated at each template vary, according to the
    complexity and available time of the model owner.
    However, the required processing time is clearly stated in the template!

  • You need to be a Shapeways member (its' free) to order or vote for the models.
