    Does this need to lay flat or be rotated to print instead of up on one end?

    Can this rotation be done in shapeways or do we have to go back to our model file and change it, like in sketchup?

    Thanks, we are newbies.

    the Produkt is not visible.

    Depends on with material you want to use. For the most it is no Problem. Shapeways combines many Objects and Print it in one Tray.
    On Some materials like FD or FUD it can be helpful to rotate the material.

    Rotation of the model file does not matter for printing - in fact shapeways will usually rotate models as necessary in order to maximally utilize the build volume of the printer.
