Meet Jeff Block, an artificial rose businessman who read about Shapeways in Entrepreneur Magazine. He was instantly excited about 3D printing as a new means of creating his roses, so he joined Shapeways and posted on <a href=\"\/forum\/index.php?t=thread&amp;frm_id=92&amp;\">the 3D Modeler Needed section of the forum<\/a>. That&#8217;s how he met 3D modeler Adam Melotte. After various e-mail exchanges they had their product: the I Love you Rose. They&#8217;ve already sold 35 and they&#8217;re a hit!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; \"><a href=\"\/model\/1064400\/the-i-love-you-rose-trade.html?li=productBox-search\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/674x501_1064400_1090417_1371932638.jpg\"><\/a> <\/p>\n<p>To read more about their story look <a href=\"\/forum\/index.php?t=msg&amp;th=15066&amp;start=0\">here<\/a>, and click <a href=\"\/model\/1064400\/the-i-love-you-rose-trade.html?li=productBox-search\">here<\/a> to see where to buy one!&nbsp; <\/p>\n<p><strong>Strandbeest Add-On<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>Another exciting thing we spotted on the forums is <a href=\"\/forum\/index.php?t=msg&amp;th=14559&amp;start=0\">this Strandbeest Add-on<\/a>.
