Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D Hi! So excited! (Noob) (Advice Request) (I'd like to start a 3D Printing Business) http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=60235&th=12414#msg_60235 I always figured that 3D printing equipment wouldn't be accessible or affordable for years to come .
Does anyone have prices for these machines? I'm interested in starting a independant small business from home.
I want to learn how to design on AutoCad to sell my own printed pieces online.

Can anyone help me with any advice to make this idea a reality?
I'm looking to create some really interesting 3D prints on various materials
Aside from the fascination It would be fantastic to be able to pay my tuition as I go along my studies through a business like this.

I like the technology but I really don't know where to start.
Cheers guys, thank you for reading this post.]]> wayuumaking 2013-01-15T01:33:19-00:00 Re: Hi! So excited!

Ok, so does that mean I would just have to upload/send Shapeways a design of mine, whether a AutoCAD file or model sketch with material information, and I could sell my items from your website?

Forgive me for the ignorance, I find it easier to ask those with experience than reading a whole bunch of pages when my time is limited as a full time student.]]> wayuumaking 2013-01-16T01:11:59-00:00 Re: Hi!

So to answer you question, in short, Yes.]]> Youknowwho4eva 2013-01-16T14:10:48-00:00 Re: Hi! So excited! (Noob) (Advice Request) (I'd like to start a 3D Printing Business) http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=60435&th=12414#msg_60435

All I need now is to either hire a 3D modeller or learn how to do it myself.
Anybody for hire? Please let me know your prices anybody reading.

Cheers! and Respect!]]> wayuumaking 2013-01-20T01:26:19-00:00 Re: Hi! So excited!

And if you want to learn, we have a list of software that you can use, and some links to sites to help you start with them. And we also have creators that are easy to use to make great prints.]]> Youknowwho4eva 2013-01-22T02:26:43-00:00
