  1. I am not very good at Shapeways, but I am trying. I want to be a active member in this forum. I can design a packaging box with 3D renderings, and how to print that. Packaging is very important for our daily goods. Here I am going to design a packaging gift box with handholds.

    1 Open Packmage CAD drawing tool, draw your structure, before you start drawing, you should have a basic idea of the structure, just draw the basic structure. OR you can tear a toothpaste box, food box for inspiration.
