\nMany people want to 3D Print their ideas with Shapeways<\/a> but do not (yet) know how to 3D model their designs. Luckily, at the same time there are thousands of incredibly talented 3D modelers in the Shapeways community, some of whom are offering their 3D modeling services for hire<\/a> to help those people make their ideas for real with 3D Printing.<\/p>\n

We have seen some AMAZING products come to life thanks to these connections made on Shapeways from Siri<\/a> to shoes<\/a> (many shoes<\/a>), trophies for bad sportsmanship<\/a>, skateboarding elephants<\/a>, Bronies<\/a> and Hybride sculptures<\/a>, whether starting from sketch, fixing an existing model or creative collaboration it is a great way for modelers to stretch their skills and help others 3D print ideas.<\/p>\n

If you, as a 3D modeler want to offer your 3D modeling services on the forum<\/a> post the following details in the forum<\/a>:  <\/p>\n
