Hi ,

How have you been? I’m here with some highlights for you as we round out a jam packed month. Are you waiting for the latest news on Frosted Detail and Frosted Ultra Detail? Or maybe you’d like to find out how to win $500 worth of free 3D printing. And did you know we ran our first ever workshop on 3D design? 

We’ve got a lot to catch up on. Enjoy. :)

+  Frosted Ultra Detail - An Update

This past Friday, we shared our final news about Frosted Detail/Frosted Ultra Detail with the community. FUD/FD is joining our materials portfolio for good! 

We've changed the pricing structure for these materials, introducing a $5.00 startup cost while lowering the cubic centimeter cost, to $2.39 for Frosted Detail and $3.49 for Frosted Ultra Detail. This change, while it takes some getting used to, will allow us to offer this material reliably over the long term. Want to weigh in? There's a lively debate on the forum

+  Win $500 Worth of Free 3D Printing

For our latest contest all you need to do is take a photograph of Bowie the Bunny in the wild for your chance to win $500 worth of 3D printing from Shapeways.  To make it easier, we are going to include Bowie for free in as many packages as possible but you may want to order your own Bowie to make sure you are in the running.  Check out the contest page for full details.
 


+  Intro to 3D: Shapeways' First Workshop

This month Shapeways NY teamed up with the awesome guys at CASE, Inc. to hold our very first Intro to Design for 3D Printing
 
The workshop marked the beginning of us not only providing the 3D printing power to help you fabricate your dreams, but the learning tools needed for newbies to get started. A huge thank you to everyone who joined! We're currently regrouping, and thinking about how to make this into a regular part of Shapeways community efforts.
