It’s a new year and we’ve jumped on the annual bandwagon and resolved to improve ourselves. What better way to do that than to improve how our talented designers use Shapeways? Earlier today we told you about the new Shapeways 3D Tools – our new suite of tools that will enable you to check your designs using the same guidelines our 3D Printing Engineers do. Here’s a quick video tour of the automatic checking tools.

We’ll be diving deeper into these new features for the rest of the month, talking about tips and tricks to get yourself inspired, up to speed and printing like never before.

In the meantime, we’re dying to know: What are you most excited about making this year?
