In October 2012, Mayor Bloomberg cut the ribbon on our new factory space<\/a>, since then, we’ve been busy installing 3D printers, an office space and a distribution centre. We’ve painted the walls, installed bathroom signs<\/a>, swept the floor and now, we’re extremely excited to announce our first official tour! From these humble beginnings, come and see what we’ve created…<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Join us on Wednesday the 26th March at 2pm<\/a> at the Shapeways Factory of the Future in Long Island City.  L<\/span>earn how your design idea becomes a product though the magic of 3D printing, meet the team who bring your ideas to life and ask your questions in person.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
RSVP on Meetup now<\/a> for all the details.<\/div>\n

For safety, we can only accommodate 20 people at a time. But don’t worry, we will be running tours every month so if you miss out this time, we’ll see you soon.<\/p>\n

Can’t wait to show you where the magic happens! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
