+ Intro

Newsletter 11-12-2010:
Hi,

Do you have your own website or blog and do you copy your Shapeways designs to it? I’m sure that’s a lot of work to maintain. Our new widget should make life a little easier for you - check it out!

Also, Stijn van der Linden (Virtox) shares his personal story of spending 6 days with us at the Dutch Design week. It’s a great read with some very helpful tips.

Enjoy!

+ Shapeways on your own website

widget

It’s now easy to promote your designs on your own website with our new widget. You can use it to show your shop’s contents or your favorites (a wishlist!) in several sizes and colors - and more features are planned. To use it, just include a few lines of HTML code on your webpage and it’ll automatically display a neat browseable list. Our widget tutorial explains how to create your own in just a few minutes. Currently the widget supports promoting your shop (including sections) or your wishlist (or favorites). You can specify a light or dark style and how many rows and columns you would like.

(Kudos to Peter and Robert for building this in their weekends!
You gotta love working for a startup ;-).

+ Shapeways Events

shapeways events

We always bring work from our community to design fairs, trade shows and media events all over the world. Even better: you can join us and present your own work! At the recent Dutch Design week we were joined by Stijn van der Linden and Michiel Cornelissen, and we showed work by Nervous System. Check out Stijns report of the event - try not to have a happy grin on your face when you read it. He also shares some great tips to make your visits to events shows more effective. We have some really exciting events planned for 2011 that we will share with you soon, but until then: where do you think we should go too?

+ Planning for Christmas

Christmas is fast approaching! It’s a great time to sell your work, so be sure you’re ready for it. Check out our Christmas Planning for an idea of the deadlines.

Or, of course if you are just looking for an existing item you can customize one we have prepared earlier for your convenience.

+ Today is the Last Day for Silver

The silver trial is over for now. It was very successful and we’ve lots of beautiful designs and we’d love to continue. Unfortunately, we cannot. We first need to do some thinking and see when and how we can reintroduce it as a permanent material. Stay tuned!
