2015 has kicked off with a bang thanks to the efforts of our amazing Shapeways Crew members who have hosted 3D printing focused events all around the world! In their roles as 3D printing community leaders and ambassadors for Shapeways, Crew members have hosted workshops, exhibitions, a TedX talk, and meetups. I’m also exited to announce that Crew is nearly 60 members strong and we’ve recently welcomed Crew members from England, Germany, Australia, Finland, South Korea, as well as all over the United States!
Here’s the some of the highlights from our Crew members from the past two months:
3D printed hearts in Frosted Ultra Detail and White Strong Flexible plastic
The NIH Science in 3D exhibition spear headed by Chris Leggett, who also shared more about his experience on this blog;
An introduction to 3D modeling at the East Brunswick Public Library organized and facilitated by Jeffrey Keiffer;
An introduction to toy design online course led by Christian Brock;
3D printing workshop at TedX Gijon

Display of Shapeways models at the Columbus Idea Foundry
Finally, Tom Hanson, based in Columbus, Ohio has been attending the monthly 3D printer meet up at the Columbus Idea Foundry to talk about Shapeways and how a 3D printing service can augment what you can make with a desktop printer.

Thank you for the call-out, Eleanor! I like to add a caveat that it was the good folks at Funbie Studios (http://funbiestudios.com) that got us the location and organised most of it. I simply turned up with some Shapeways models and chatted with people. All in all a good time. 🙂
All in all a good time.
