We’ll be spending a fair bit of time in Great Britain this week. Traveling from the London College of Fashion to Maker Faire in Newcastle, and having several user meetups along our way. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Check out our schedule below, come over to say hi and meet fellow community members!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

London – April 25 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

We land on Thursday, April 25. Our first stop is the London College of Fashion, where Shapeways sponsors the ‘Layer by Layer’ exhibition on 3D printing<\/a>. The College wants to show the diversity of our materials and printed a large series of shoe lasts. Bart will also be giving a lecture to a group of 50 students.<\/p>\n

That evening we’re planning to have drinks with you guys (we still need a good spot – some help would be great!). There’s space for about 20 people, so be sure to RSVP quickly on our Meetup page for this event<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Newcastle – April 27-28 <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

In the weekend of April 27 and 28 Bart and Kevin (from our unbeatable Customer Service team) are at Europe’s largest Maker Faire in Newcastle<\/a>. And we’re not alone! Four well-known British community designers are traveling up to Newcastle to help us out: On Saturday, you’ll find Peter Chapman of Tofty<\/a> and Andrew Walker of UniquePlastique<\/a> on our booth. Steven Gray of MyGadgetLife<\/a> and Richard Gain of microcubology<\/a> will be joining us on Sunday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And did I mention we’ll have balloon car<\/a> races at our booth? Without doubt, Maker Faire Newcastle is THE most brilliant maker event in Europe. Come and visit it if you have a chance!<\/p>\n

And what’s Newcastle without some drinks? Let’s meet up on Saturday evening and spend some 3D printing quality time. Again, we’re still looking for a good spot. If you know the area well, please leave your suggestion onthe meetup’s page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Start your own meetup!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Are London and Newcastle just too far away and can’t you join us? Then why not start your own meetup? It’s easy, head over to the Shapeways Community Meetup<\/a> page and search for your location. If there’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

Also send an email to community@shapeways.com and tell us where you are! We’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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
