Thanks to the ongoing hard work of our production teams, we\u2019re announcing updates that will make 3D printing more accessible \u2014 by delivering your prints faster. We\u2019ve significantly reduced print production times for a dozen Shapeways materials. From the time you order to the time we ship, our turnaround times for the materials below are now shorter than ever:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28748\" alt=\"sw-faster-blog (1)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sw-faster-blog-1.jpg\" width=\"712\" height=\"2042\" data-wp-pid=\"28748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sw-faster-blog-1.jpg 712w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sw-faster-blog-1-186x534.jpg 186w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sw-faster-blog-1-357x1024.jpg 357w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sw-faster-blog-1-625x1792.jpg 625w, https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/sw-faster-blog-1-94x270.jpg 94w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 712px) 100vw, 712px\" \/><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">These updates are part of our continuing commitment to reducing lead times. How do we do it? We innovate in manufacturing, processing, and shipping. Whether it\u2019s by testing new materials and processes (shaving seven days off high definition acrylate), investing in updated machinery (halving lead times for two materials), or improving manufacturing efficiency (getting cast metals to you faster), we\u2019re always working to enhance production quality and speed.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Now is the perfect time to get started on that project you\u2019ve been dreaming of. Whatever you\u2019re making, print it today in one of our faster-than-ever materials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><em>We\u2019re always working hard to improve your Shapeways experience.
