As we start planning for a new school year (at least in the northern hemisphere) I wanted to connect and tell you about changes to the Shapeways Education Program. I’ve spent the last year talking with you and marveling at the numerous ways you use our service in your education.
I am proud to announce that we will be increasing the Education Program discount to 20% off of your own prints through September 30, 2015, and 15% off all materials for the rest of the school year. Our goal with Shapeways EDU has always been to empower people to learn and by lowering the price of our most popular material for all students we’re reaffirming that mission. This new discount has replaced our previous 10% discount as of August 13, 2015, and will be automatically applied when you order eligible 3D prints using your Shapeways account that is enrolled in Shapeways Education Program until September 30th, 2015. While they cannot be combined with your discount, we offer many other discounts to our broader community throughout the year: make sure that you’re signed up for our Promotions & Recommendations emails to hear about them.
Keep your eye out for more exciting ways to use our global 3D printing services in your studies and happy 3D-ing in the new school year!
*The Education Program discount is capped at $200 in savings per person, per academic year. It applies to 3D prints of your own designs. It does not apply to products purchased in the Shapeways marketplace. For larger projects please reach out to education@shapeways.com with the subject line “Education Discount Inquiry”. We’re always working to improve the Education Program and, as such, its terms are subject to change at any time.
