For five months I will join the Shapeways team to learn from their technology as well as create some designs of my own.<br \/>At&nbsp;school I learned to design with Solidworks. I know the basics and will come a long way with mechanical shapes.&nbsp; You will see some of my parts in the coming weeks when I&rsquo;m uploading parts for the 3D Part Database. <\/p>\n<p>In my free time I like to play online games on my xbox, mostly shooters, just to slaughter&nbsp;those noobs! Also I like to relax with my friends and drink a beer or two.Besides making fun I would also like to learn some other 3D software. Of course this is fun as well! But in a different way. I&rsquo;m thinking of giving blender a try in the coming weeks. If you guys have any tips for me on blender or maybe other software, let me know!<\/p>\n<p>My first task will be to increase and improve the Shapeways <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/3d_parts_database\">3D Parts Database<\/a> for you guys. I will add more file extensions to more common file types and add a lot of new designs. I hope this will improve the accessibility of the files and make the database even more useful. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shapeways.com\/forum\/index.php?t=msg&amp;goto=6630\">Here is a forum post<\/a> where I tell you some more about the ideas I have and where you can leave your ideas and feedback.&nbsp;<hyperlink><\/hyperlink><\/p>\n<p>While I&rsquo;m here I will try to help the Shapeways community the best I can. Of course I have a lot to learn but that&rsquo;s why I&rsquo;m here. If you have some tips, comments or any other notes feel free to leave them here or let me know! You can contact me on my Shapeways mail which is mathijs(at)shapeways(dot)com <\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<br \/>Mathijs <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
