SIGGRAPH 2008: 3d printing

On August 12th, Philips Incubator Project: Shapeways will launch the
first consumer-focused customizable 3D merchandise platform, The
Shapeways Creator.

The Shapeways Creator, utilizing a 3D model library, allows consumers
to easily manipulate the structure, look and feel of their own products
online. For the first time, budding 3D artists, architects, product
designers and consumers of all skill level can create 3D designs
online, and Shapeways will print and mail the designer their creation
within 10 days.

Shapeways, a new platform and global community for 3D-design and production, takes a major step towards the next generation of consumer co-creation with the announcement of the Shapeways Creator. For the first time, consumers without 3D modeling skills can shape, mash, imprint and design their own 3D products via just a few mouse clicks at Shapeways.com. From lamps with a personal message to fruit bowls linking back to memorable moments, the Shapeways Creator has a starting library of pre-designed product templates which is expected to grow to over 100 designs by the end of 2009.

"We recognize the desire of consumers who want to own or give something that is unique and has their special, personal touch," commented Peter Weijmarshausen, CEO of Shapeways. "With the Shapeways Creator, now anyone can participate in the artistic process and create something that is truly a reflection of their own needs & tastes. With the creator, we have broken the currently existing trade-off between freedom of design and the complexity of the design process".

Nice concept. Unfortunately this kind of service buro's have a hard time to help customers deliver correct .stl files at the right size and quality. Just tried to order a object of 47 cm tall that costs 7.000 usd. Not really a bargain ;(

Our experience teached us that .stl file quality, materials and finishing will give service buro's a very hard time. That's why we offer an one tot one service to help our clients to deliver the best price - quality solution.

cheers

I will check out some of their products tomorrow to see what kind of quality their prints produce.

It will be interesting to see what they are able to deliver in 10 days turnaround time.
