Hello Everyone, 
On the 1st of March we will be one year old!! Only 12 months ago we went from being an idea, a concept to a place where a design could become reality when our first model was uploaded, ordered and delivered.
To celebrate this we will offer everyone a 25% discount on a White, Strong & Flexible order! You better hurry as the offer ends at the end of this month*(the details are on the blog).
This means that for example our LightPoem is now available for $87 (€69) including tax and shipping. Check out our shops to find some really beautiful models you can now order at better than ever prices!
Enjoy,
Joris Peels

Our White, Strong & Flexible material allows for live hinges, simple gears and springs. Because of this we've been thinking a lot about motion, movement and moving parts at Shapeways. We've made simple spinners ourselves and shown you how to make them. But, we thought that the community could best push the limits of the material and of 3D printing. Ergo: the moving parts contest. Starting today you can enter by adding the tag movingpart to your model. The community votes decide the winner and that person will get $300 in 3D printing.

+Other communities

We know that there are a lot of interesting other communities out there from model trains to communities making electronics devices or board games. It is however hard for us to choose which ones to approach and know which ones would benefit from 3D printing. But, we thought that you might know. If you're a member of a community that we should work with please get in touch with me. I'd love to get in touch with them and see if we could organize a contest for them where we give out the prize or help them out in some other way.
*) The special offer is limited to one discount per member and is limited to an order amount of $300.
