Makers can be hard to shop for because, often, if they want something, they’ll make it themselves. That’s why we created the Maker Kit. The kit includes a $25 digital gift card and 3D printed samples of our most popular materials — all of which represent cutting-edge industrial 3D printing tech, light-years ahead of desktop 3D printers.

When a maker finds a new material — or a new tool — it can be a life-changing moment. And often, it comes as a huge surprise that, with Shapeways, anyone can access 3D printed steel, laser-sintered nylon, full-color sandstone, high-definition plastics, and more. Once they hold these materials in their hands, armed with $25 in printing credit, they’ll be ready to take their making to the next level.

So, inspire them to reach beyond what they think is possible — and power their 2018 projects — with a Maker Kit!
