    This weeks release includes:
    We have published the first of a slew of thorough, in-depth, tutorials aimed at educating 3D modelers to become better product designers

    Our 3D Design and Modeling Tools page has undergone a huge upgrade. Not only have we greatly expanded the list from just a few Easy/Beginner creation tools to include a wide variety of both free and commercial software, we have also added in functionality to filter the entries easily based on what type of tool or platform you are looking for.

    Continuous improvements in our manufacturing process to make sorting orders easier.

    As we run the Print It Anyway pilot, we want to make sure that this positive experience for our designers and what we learn from your PIA orders carries over to our regular Shapeways experience. To provide better context and information to our 3D Printing Engineers while they are checking models, we are showing them if an order was a previously PIA and it's success rate. This is crucial part of having this process, we ultimately want to improve the regular ordering process!

    As always, let us know what you think!
