Calling the Australian Shapeways Community

July 28, 2010

I am looking to find Australian Shapeways users so that we can unite to promote Shapeways products locally. This could be something as simple as a stall at a local market or design event such as Finders Keepers, Design Made Trade or Bowerbird Bazaar? We may even be able to organise (Australian English spelling) a chance for some of us to meet up so that we can get to know each other and get some feedback in person?

Send an email to duann(at)shapeways.com if you are interested?

Also if you are interested in starting your own local chapter (secret handshakes optional) let us know and we may be able to help you out with sample products, t-shirts or other assistance to help you promote yourselves and Shapeways.

  Aussie here 🙂 I’ve shared this on Facebook (a lot of entrepreneurial and artsy friends). I also do a weekly podcast on tech, and our latest episode http://vimeo.com/13541899 talked about you guys… and how the 3D printing factories will be the economic driving force behind nanotechnology, as well as the obvious reshuffling of the whole relationship between consumer and manufacturer. Cheers!

  Another Sydney-sider here, could probably help with something. I have presented a talk on RP processes before at a model railway convention, including my completely Shapeways-made model train.

  Mark, I have copied your ‘Industrial switching layout’ and are going to model it in OO. Do you have a train set leads introduction to it? Peter

  Hey All, Glad to see so many Aussies interested in Shapeways. Take a look at Shapeways Meetup Everywhere. http://www.meetup.com/ShapewaysCommunity/ You can join an existing meetup to get together with other Shapeways fans or start your own. Let us know if you need any help? Cheers

  Hey guys, I am Melbourne based. I am looking for a 3D modeller who could model a memorial sculpture that is being built for my niece. Presently, it is a life size horse and rider that is being constructed with amazing detail from scrap metals. Any ideas? Andrew
