We hear from a lot of people that one of the barriers they&#8217;ve faced with 3D printing starts with the design process. They want to have something 3D printed, but the idea of using 3D modeling software is too overwhelming. Today we&#8217;re excited to announce the launch of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/creator\/keychain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keychain Creator<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/creator\/pendant\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pendant Creator<\/a>, two new apps that aim to break down those barriers and enable more people to create amazing things! Now we&#8217;ve made it easier than ever for anybody, even those who little to no design experience, to create beautiful, unique 3D printed products.<\/p>\n<p class=\"video-responsive\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/k8SeIU1lBVY\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Making your pendant or keychain is simple.
