Because of connection problems we weren't able to record the entire show We did manage to catch my chat with Operations Team Lead Alan Ballaney. Alan and I talked about all the steps the 3D printing process, resolution, orientation, scaling etc - it should be very informative for everyone! The factory tour got lost, but I promise you I'll bring a cam and do a proper video tour of our Eindhoven facilities for everyone.

For now, enjoy at least the first 35 minutes of todays show:

Thank you for joining me for our super secret series of Bootleg videos of the Shapeways LIC Factory.

Here's the link for those that missed it:

http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/29248647

Do yourself a favor and skip from minute 2:30 - 12 because that is a screenshare that didn't work.

After minute 12, its smooth sailing! and the sound improves dramatically at minute 19

As I say in the video:

I love that together with the community we hacked together a way to show you the tour of the factory!



Practice makes perfect

See you soon!

Here is the actual Tour video on YouTube:

Any topics you want to discuss?

Sorry for the brief hiatus, we're trying out more ways to interact via video with you all, but Shapeways Live continues NEXT WEEK!

Join me and Peter, our CEO, to announce our most recent exciting news!

Wednesday May 1st
2pm EST/11am PST and 6pm UTC/GMT

Anything else you would like us to cover?]]> natalia 2013-04-23T14:58:49-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=67258&th=12433#msg_67258
Shapeways Live is TODAY at 2pm EST/6pm UTC!]]> natalia 2013-05-01T15:17:12-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=67284&th=12433#msg_67284

For those that missed it we covered:

Pete announcing our new investment and how it will help us grow Shapeways - less rejections, better printers, more materials and more accessible printing for everyone. We are also expanding our teams (so we're hiring!) and looking at building more factories.

We talked a bit about the currency selection project and how it is going. It is a big job and we want to make sure we are focusing our efforts on the the right implementations for both our Shop Owners and Shapeways as a healthy and growing marketplace.

We also talked about the 10cm rule on weapons and why it exists. We covered our Content Policy and the idea that basically we had a draw a line somewhere and that is where it is.



I'm afraid knot

[14:24] <hazy_v> The rule against weapons over 10cm seems unnecessarily cautious in terms of public relations, when are you going to allow hollow cosplay prop prints?
[14:25] <qwebirc46966> is it secret or can we ask whose printers you use?
[14:25] <hazy_v> Example: http://shpws.me/nJD8 (1mm walls)
[14:25] <FabMe> Great explanation ! Thanks we keep patiently pushing the boundrys !
[14:25] <MagicVince> Moveable parts in Metal! Yeah!

[14:26] <qwebirc46966> no audio... advert on screen
[14:27] <hazy_v> That's not an answer, I already know it's a rule...
[14:27] <qwebirc46966> thanks FABME
[14:28] <hazy_v> no why...?
[14:28] <hazy_v> ugh
[14:28] <hazy_v> unreal, you realize that you can buy a gun downtown for less than it costs for the hollow prints right?
[14:28] <FabMe> Why would you wanna print weapons ? Print flowers, No guns allowed in here tonight
[14:28] <hazy_v> because people want to cosplay at conventions
[14:28] <hazy_v> enthusiasts like looking like characters
[14:29] <qwebirc46966> Thanks N... will check
[14:29] <qwebirc46966> your views on voxeljet machines?
[14:29] <FabMe> haha comercials crazy
[14:30] <hazy_v> Ugh this isn't school, this is money you're saying no to for silly reasons

[14:32] <FabMe> Print a mold for your parts and cast them yourselfs ?
[14:32] <FabMe>
[14:32] <hazy_v> that doesn't help the product stay cheap for customers, but thanks for engaging
[14:32] <hazy_v> the cost would be too high, might as well get them handmade by theater prop designers
[14:33] <hazy_v> Ok you've answered it, don't want to monopolize this thing, thanks!
[14:34] <FabMe> In the netherlands you can get a fine of 15.000 or 1 year prison for look a like weapons a

[14:35] <hazy_v> ... it's more about the customers, ever dressed up as your favorite fictional characters?
