A compound mobius strip created out of 36 interlocking mobius strips.

All segments are thin mobius strips, and they weave and interlock perfectly through the spaces left between them. Highly complex, and a headache to look at, yet it possesses an inherent mathematical simplicity and beauty.

This model is 3d printed out of a sintered vinyl plastic, which makes it very resilient and bendable. It won't break if you drop it.

A surprising arrangement of figures to create a mathematical form.

Please note that you must order TWO SETS to create the cube – each set includes two figures and four are necessary to create this sculpture. The figures are identical and snap together tightly hands to ankles to make this striking sculpture. Mix and match colors for your own effects. Or order more than two sets to experiment with other configurations.

This model is being exhibited at the Center for Arts Gallery at Towson University, June 30-July 28, 2012.

I suggest the gold-plated glossy material. The pitting and smoothing of the model that occurs when the plating is applied makes the key look old and worn. It's fantastic.
---
Billina showed her the place where she had "stubbed her bill," as she expressed it, and Dorothy dug away the sand until she felt something hard. Then, thrusting in her hand, she pulled the thing out, and discovered it to be a large sized golden key--rather old, but still bright and of perfect shape.

"What did I tell you?" cried the hen, with a cackle of triumph. "Can I tell metal when I bump into it, or is the thing a rock?"

"It's metal, sure enough," answered the child, gazing thoughtfully at the curious thing she had found. "I think it is pure gold, and it must have lain hidden in the sand for a long time. How do you suppose it came there, Billina? And what do you suppose this mysterious key unlocks?"

A self-referential tessellation of the sphere.

This is a little delicate as the lines are 1.5mm thick, but it seems sturdy enough.

A classic fractal.

This model does not print perfectly. Shapeways will do their best, which is darn good, but the smallest holes must be cleared by hand, and it takes time.

Enjoy, but please read the comments below before ordering.

These filigree earrings look delicate almost like lace, yet are flexible and very resilient and should last you a life time assuming a monkey doesn't eat them. They are so light that you wouldn't even know you are wearing them.

Here they are shown in the "White Strong & Flexible" material, but are also available in other colors as well as silver. They are each about 1.5 inches long and .75 inch wide.

A beautiful translucent tea candle light which will look great on any table. The sleek and simple design goes well with many styles. The petals are quite thin to let the light through, yet the model is not overly fragile.

This light has been successfully tested with standard sized tea candles. However, as this model is made of plastic, use the usual safety precautions when using with candles and fire - never leave unattended, keep away from combustible material, and keep out of the hands of children.

Earring with a head similar to Escher's works such as Bond of Union and Head in Clouds.

This model contains only one earring. To get the pair put a quantity of 2 in the shopping cart.

Not available in Detail material because of lack of rigidity.

This is a truly inspiring piece, designed to use the minimum material while keeping the cost low. This is large at 300mm high, it's a show stopper a head turner. Shapeways have been pushed to their limits to produce and ship this. It is strong but light and only needs small pin or nail to hang it. The fine 1.5mm wire structure comes together to create a wonderful majestic stag head and a wonderful balance of weight in the form while almost being invisible.

The Animal Head Collection

No 1 is a Stag Head. 

No 2 is a Zebra. 

No 3 is a Rhino. 

No 4 is a Tiger. 

5 is an Elephant. 

We have created an alternative 580mm high flat version  

There is also a 75mm version here

Have you ever experienced such a great love for someone that it felt as if your heart was going to burst through your chest? It can even feel as if your entire rib-cage is now filled with your heart.
Inspired by my own experience of falling in love, this is a true artistic expression of a deep and pure love.

Makes a meaningful gift for yourself or that very special loved one.

(Pictured with a necklace. Price is for pendant only)

On Proper Usage and Inhibited Ingestion: Why is it that we find the cup so unappetizing? Could it have originated from survival tactics where we relate our proximity to another's teeth as a threat of life, a reminder of predator and prey, poison and contamination? Is this object then successful in its design to prevent gluttonous behavior should food and drink only be offered in the cup? more information at http://lilysu.com

This 7" pendant lamp is covered by ridges and valleys that transmit different amounts of light when illuminated; they furnish a striking pattern whether the lamp is on or off.

We created the form by simulating a process where two chemicals diffuse across a surface and react with one another to form stable patterns. This process, reaction-diffusion, can be used to explain the intricate patterns found on the skin of many types of animals, from the spots of leopards to the radiating stripes of angelfish. Growing a pattern with different parameters can produce dramatically different results.

Here, we orchestrated a pattern that twists elegantly towards the base of the lamp where it terminates in a gentle spiral. Lines diverge and converge along the contours of the sphere, blanketing the surface in many deep grooves. We think the pattern recalls the forms of sand dunes and hard corals.

Only the shade portion of the lamp is shipped by shapeways. The light fixture can be purchased separately from us, email us at hello@n-e-r-v-o-u-s.com

Light Fixture The lamp comes with an eco-friendly 3-watt LED light fixture with three bright Cree LED's that will last for 6 years of continuous use. It is UL-listed and plugs into the wall.

This 3D printed Constructionist bracelet was inspired by modern architecture and its use of complex repetitive geometrical structures. I am fascinated by how these structures can behave to create buildings and objects that look seemingly organic and unique, buildings that change their appearance depending on the angle you look at them. This inspiration has resulted in this collection of intricate and elegant cuffs and bracelets, that change their appearance constantly as you move and wear them. This bracelet is an example where new techniques like 3D printing has opened up a world of new design possibilities -this bracelet would be almost impossible to make using traditional jewellery techniques. Size: Medium (6,5cm / 2,6in opening which is 20,5cm / 8in inner circumference). See my other listing for size Large, or let me know if you would like another size.

Though these earrings may resemble an xenomorphic sea creature, we can neither confirm nor deny that they were modeled after any organism living, dead, or bearing any blood relation to our board of directors.

These earrings are sized for 18 gauge piercings and should fit most people with pierced ears. If you need a different size, just ask! I have a few larger gauges already available in the shop, and can resize it to a custom gauge if it's not already there.

Disclaimer on the images: any photos labeled "polished" are stainless steel that has been hand polished with a dremel. The stainless that you order will have more of a texture to it. I haven't yet made these for myself in bronze glossy, gold plated glossy, or either types of silver, but if you want the highly polished look your best bet is going to be silver glossy.

The BBC feature The Code, which aired in the summer and fall of 2011, culminated in a treasure hunt. This is the treasure. The original was made in bronze-finish steel and silver; this recoloured model shows the structure. It is a rendering of the five Platonic solids, nested.
An uncoloured version is here.

A detailed full color model of each of the first six planets (out to Saturn) and major moons of the Solar system, to (logrithmic) scale.
(Note: the full Solar System set of planets and moons is available as a set here)

All surfaces are reproduced from NASA imaging.
For size reference, Jupiter is 22mm (0.9 inch) diameter, and Earth is 11mm (0.45 inch) diameter.

This set is designed for use in orrery or other models of the solar system, and so to best present all planets while preserving scale, the scale has been compressed - a logrithmic scale instead of a linear scale. This means that if the model of a moon of Jupiter is larger than the model of Mercury but smaller than Mars, then you know that the real moon really is larger than Mercury and smaller than Mars, But the size diference is compressed - Jupiter, which is really more than ten times Earth's diameter, becomes only twice Earth's diameter, etc. This logrithmic scale allows all planets to be clearly visible together, while at the same time still indicating their sizes relative to each other.

The set contains six planets, and nine moons:
[In order of appearance in the photo above, right to left]
Mercury
Venus
Earth
 - Moon / Luna
Mars
Jupiter
 - Ganymede
 - Callisto
 - Io
 - Europa (attempt no landing there)
Saturn
 - rings of Saturn
 - Titan
 - Rhea
 - Iapetus
 - Dione

All objects have a 1.3mm (0.05 inch) hole at the south pole, about 3mm deep, for a brass axle (or a toothpick).

What color is a planet - is it color of its surface materials, or the colour of its atmosphere from space, or the color of the surface being colored by the atmosphere filtering light from the sun? The appearance in this set attempts to be that of the surface with moderate atmospheric influence, (with the gas giants depicted as the atmosphere and surface being the same thing). For example, this means that Venus depicts the features of its surface, but they are tinted somewhat by its atmosphere. Similarly, Earth and Titan show ground features, but some areas are tinted and obscured by atmosphere.

In areas where the model surface is more detailed than the most detailed NASA photography, the overall surface appearance conforms to what is known, but finer textural details are speculative. (Or, if there is an atmosphere, it is shown as particularly thick and opaque over the unmapped area.)

Due to hard limitations of the Shapeways 3D printer, the moon Dione is using the surface map of Rhea. I chose Dione because the surface is very similar to Rhea, and it is the most minor moon in the set. The alternative was simply to remove an object, but I preferred the set to include four of Saturn moons, like it does for Jupiter.

This is a game accurate replica of the Spanish Gold Coins that are featured Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. It was sculpted by me from in-game reference using ZBrush. This listing is for one coin only. NOTES ON THE PRINTS I got test coins printed in Gold Plated Glossy, White Strong & Flexible and Frosted Ultra Detail. You can find pictures of the GPG and WSF version above, however it was near impossible to get a decent picture of the FUD version. That said the detail on it is on par with the GPG version and definitely a step up on the WSF. For me though the pick of them all is the Gold Plated Glossy, it came out far far better than I could have ever hoped, the detail is great and it has a really nice weight to it as well. Hope you like this new item and keep an eye out for more soon.

There are six regular convex polytopes in 4D, which are analogous to the five Platonic solids in 3D. This one is the odd polytope out, the one without a 3D counterpart.

It has 24 octahedral cells, all shown in this Schlegel diagram. Like the pentachoron it's self-dual -- the only self-dual solid in any dimension > 2 that is not a simplex. And if that wasn't enough, it's also the only regular convex polytope in any dimension > 2 that tiles its space and is not a hypercube.
