One of the most challenging steps\u00a0in 3D printing can actually come\u00a0before any printing happens. Learning how to 3D model can be exhausting, fun, and, overall, time-consuming. But what if you could cut it short \u2014 by building on others’ designs, and using a simple, intuitive interface\u00a0to create 3D printable objects? We’re working hard to make it\u00a0just that easy,\u00a0which is why we’ve partnered up\u00a0with\u00a0VECTARY<\/a>. The\u00a0free online 3D modeling tool makes it easier than ever\u00a0for you \u2014 or anyone with an idea \u2014 to turn that idea into a 3D printed object.<\/p>\n

VECTARY lives in your browser, so there\u2019s no\u00a0need to download anything. And, since anything shared\u00a0publicly on VECTARY falls\u00a0under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike license (CC BY-NC-SA)<\/a>,\u00a0you\u00a0don\u2019t have to\u00a0start from scratch. You can reuse and remix things, as long\u00a0as you say\u00a0where they came from and don\u2019t use them for commercial purposes.<\/p>\n

And, the most exciting part for us: now you can order a 3D print from Shapeways without leaving VECTARY. Shapeways will make sure your model is 3D printable, let you choose\u00a0your preferred material, and give you a price estimate:<\/p>\n
