If there&#8217;s no meetup for your town yet, just add one so other people can join you and help you with organizing the event.<\/p>\n<p>Also send an email to community@shapeways.com and tell us where you are! We&#8217;ll hook you up to other people in your area and give you the low down on hosting a meetup, no experience necessary, just a willingness to meet likeminded people.
