Today we are making it easier to have conversations on Shapeways. Now, when your username is @mentioned in a model comment, you will receive a notification. If you @mention someone’s username they will also receive a notification. It’s the best way to have a conversation with a designer or to recommend a product to someone else in the Shapeways community.<\/div>\n
\n

You can view your most recent mentions by clicking on the @ notifications icon next to your profile image in the top navigation bar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Have you come across a product you wish could be customized for you? @mention the designer’s username to start a conversation with them. They will receive a notification about your mention and soon you could have a product designed just for you.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
