Last week Shapeways hosted it\u2019s first community joint meet up with ExOne in Pittsburgh. ExOne is a production partner of Shapeways with whom Shapeways works closely to offer the best steel 3D prints to our community. Local designers, makers, students, and community members in the Pittsburgh and Ohio area got the opportunity to visit the ExOne 3D printing facilities. They were able to meet with members of the Shapeways community team, get a tour of the steel 3D printing machines, learn more about our current steel material options, and get to engage and interact with fellow designers.<\/p>\n
