Happy Friday! For this week’s Friday Finds we’ve rounded up six new Designers for Hire<\/a>.\u00a0Sometimes, the best way to get what you really want<\/a>\u00a0is to\u00a0work with one of our talented designers.<\/p>\n

Whether you are looking to make that custom piece of jewelry, have a killer product idea or just need help with getting your 3D file repaired there’s a designer who can make your dream come to life.<\/p>\n

We’re adding new designers regularly<\/a>, here’s this weeks roundup:<\/p>\n

First up, Scott Denton<\/a>. With over 10 years in the\u00a03D modeling and animation industry, he’ll help you create a custom cartoon character or a special piece of jewelry. He’s recently started making custom head badges<\/a> for bikes, so you can really pimp your ride.<\/p>\n

\"hellena\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Robert Blinn<\/a> is the lead designer for GothamSmith<\/a> and a SolidWorks pro. He has modeled everything from animal jewelry to a life size hockey goalie and\u00a0reverse engineered heels for fancy shoes and theft proof iPad cases. Contact him for all your product design ideas. He’s also based in New York City and happy to meet in person.<\/p>\n

\"city\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Antoine Boulay<\/a> is a French\u00a0CAD professor at the Ecole Boulle Paris and as a jeweler has worked with luxury brands like Chanel, Swarowski and Baccarat for over 20 years. Contact him to realize your fine jewelry and watch design ideas. He prefers to work in French, so if you are a Francophile, you’re in luck!<\/p>\n

Corinne Hansen<\/a>\u00a0has been modeling for 4 years and is very familiar with Shapeways materials. As a jeweler, metalsmith and ceramicist, she specializes in 3D design, especially in creating costume props, jewelry and imaginative characters. Contact her to realize your most fanciful ideas!<\/p>\n

\"amour\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On the other end of the design spectrum, we have\u00a0Tim Solomon<\/a>\u00a0who\u00a0specializes in engineering and mechanical design. He has been\u00a0modeling for 10 years and uses his versatile skills to model everything from toys, statues and figurines to parts for cars, computers, washer\/dryers and RC parts. Contact him to make replacement parts and complex mechanical designs.<\/p>\n

\"moto\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Last but not least, our very own Andrew Thomas<\/a>,\u00a0a sculptor and designer with ample 3D printing experience of artworks, toys and prototypes. He \u00a0works as a customer service agent at Shapeways, so he knows the ins and outs of our design guidelines. He’s great at complex toy design like this working miniature Foosball Table, which doubles as an iPhone 5 case! Amazing!<\/p>\n
