Greetings from Alberta's capital region. I'm a CAD/CAM engineering technologist by education, a machine designer by occupation, and a lateral thinker by avocation. My design tool of preference is Autodesk Inventor, but I've been doing computer modelling and graphics off and on since the mid-'80s. (POV-ray to start, and on through a few others along the way - predominantly Autodesk products.) I learned of Shapeways via Autodesk Inventor's users' newsgroup, came for a look, and decided to set up a shop. There's no sense in not making a few nickels off of my own creative output. With some ingenuity, some perseverance, and a little luck, I might be able to make enough for a cup of tea now and then. Come on by for a looksee at www.shapeways.com/shops/Cogitorium and see if anything tickles your fancy.
Coming soon (give a poor newbie a chance) but some things may require a delay to public exposure for patent and/or design registration first.
