One of the most exciting things about being at the forefront of 3D printing is that we get to watch makers and making evolve in real time. \u00a0There are countless designers on Shapeways who first came to our community to make things for themselves and then quickly realized that other people liked what they were doing and decided to open a shop. \u00a0This ability to share and grow is key to the maker movement.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we\u2019re going to keep working hard here at Shapeways to empower makers. \u00a0Whether it is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/discover\/dji\">mod for your drone<\/a>, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/product\/5RVVXU9XH\/pi-case?li=search-results-1&amp;optionId=43882144\">case for your pi<\/a>, or the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/product\/R6WECHKQG\/piddybot-an-open-source-self-balancing-robot?li=nav&amp;optionId=42077939\">body of a self-balancing robot<\/a>, Shapeways is a place where makers can come to iterate and create. \u00a0A big part of making is making solutions that are customized for your needs. \u00a0And nothing is better for custom solutions than 3D printing. Enjoy the week of making. \u00a0If you make something great, share it with us on twitter <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shapeways\" target=\"_blank\">@Shapeways<\/a> and <a
