In honor of Back to School season, we’re kicking off the semester by introducing a set of tutorials<\/a> that will prepare you for all of the design, engineering and art projects in your upcoming semester. Over the next few weeks, we’ll cover a range of information starting from planning your project, designing for different materials, and finally, merchandising & selling your products on Shapeways.<\/p>\n

For my project, I chose to create a necklace pendant of our beloved escaped-moon, Pluto. In case you forgot, NASA released its first high resolution photos of pluto this summer – only to reveal a giant heart cratered on its surface, which perfectly represented my love for this former planet. So, I figured why not combine my planetary love + 3D modeling and make a piece of jewelry that would compliment any fall wardrobe.<\/p>\n
