Newsletter July 27th

Hi ,

How’s it going? Hopefully you’ve had a relaxing July. As for us, the teams in both Eindhoven and New York has been busier than ever. This month, Shapeways is celebrating its 3rd anniversary! Plus, there's an update on our material lead times, shows we’ll be attending, and a look at some of our photo contest entries. 

Enjoy. :)

+  3 Years of Being Passionate About Creating

It’s true. 3 years ago this July, Shapeways got its start, and what a ride it's been. Now, with two offices, just under 30 employees and over 330,000 3D prints to date, we’re working so hard each day that it would be easy to keep our heads down and let the occasion come and go. But that wouldn’t be much fun, now would it? We're currently plotting a big NY-based bash, so keep your eyes peeled for more details. 

Thanks to everyone who helped make our first 3 years awesome.

+  Our Materials Status and Improvements to Shapeways' Supply Chain

These last few months have been some of the busiest in Shapeways' history, and we’ve been supply_chain 2working to keep up with the demand! Some of our materials are right on time at the moment, but others are experiencing delays. Take a look at the recent blog post updating the community on the status of all materials. We’ve also been working hard at expanding capacity, making huge improvements to our supply chain, and have begun shipping via the US. More good things to come!


+  Photo Contest Update


Last month we announced our summer photo 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.  We have been blown away by the incredibly creative entries such as the cannibalistic entry by Stefan Witte.  Check out all of the entries so far on Flickr and the contest page for full details of how you can win.

During the next few weeks we will be taking the 3D printed show on the road for Maker Faire in Detroit and SIGGRAPH in Vancouver.  If you’re in the area we would love to connect with you personally, so we have organized a Meetup in the 29th in Detroit and August 9th in Vancouver. Head on over to the Shapeways Meetup page to RSVP and be sure to bring along your 3D printed designs.
