I know<br \/>\nof no other designer that has amazed me, puzzled me and plain<br \/>\ndumbfounded me more than Oskar has with his designs. Check out this <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=x9eQtaSn2p4\">Bram&#8217;s Cube<\/a> and this <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=sqmHLtwtK2Q\">Unlucky Twist<\/a><br \/>\nfor example. Oskar really has shown a lot of people that it is possible<br \/>\nto create amazing things using 3D printing. His Shop does really well<br \/>\nand now we&#8217;re incredibly proud to announce that one of Oskar&#8217;s puzzles<br \/>\nhas gone into production with Uwe Meffert, one of the world&#8217;s most <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mefferts.com\/\">prestigious and famous puzzle designers<\/a>.<br \/>\nTo me Oskar&#8217;s story is a great one and it really illustrates not only<br \/>\nwhat people can accomplish with Shapeways but also what personal<br \/>\nproduction will bring us in the future. A single person developing a<br \/>\nproduct from their own home and selling this worldwide. A single person<br \/>\nstarting a business and brand of one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Oskar van Deventer is a puzzle savant.
