Want to get your design 3D printed in a flexible squishy new material we have been experimenting with? <\/p>\n

Enter The Shapeways 3D Print Flex-Contest<\/strong> to get your own flexible, squishy 3D prints.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We have been playing with the material in the Shapeways office for the past few months, teased you with a video<\/a> and given community members a chance to feel the material at our Meetups<\/a> but now we want to give you a chance to get your models 3D printed in the flexible material. <\/p>\n

Please note that this material is in a somewhat experimental phase for us so we are not sure exactly how the material will react to different geometries, stresses and levels of detail so your designs will help us to understand what is possible.<\/p>\n

We are going to choose six winners in six different categories by six different judges<\/strong> from the Shapeways team<\/p>\n
