Combinatory Manufacturing is here!
June 21, 2010
Beginning next month, we will enable Shop owners to offer complete and final products to their customers. This will be done as a test for 2 months or as long as supplies last. We will offer silver plated earring hooks to the produced earrings and a rubber necklace of 60 cm long with a nice bayonet lock to any hanger (see picture below).
The bayonet lock:
To ensure your earrings and necklace hanger will include these additional free add-ons every time they are ordered you will have to take the following action:
- send a mail to service@shapeways.com with the model’s name & ID, please put either earring or necklace in the subject line.
- Shapeways will tag your model accordingly to ensure it will get the right treatment once ordered.
- Once we start offering this service as a test run, you will need to clarify to your customers that they will receive a beautiful end product.
note: You will receive no notification once your model is tagged. Sending the mail will suffice. This service will start by July.
Design guidelines:
Earrings:
– The inside diameter of the hole where the hooks will be attached must be at least 1.3mm – The hook will be attached to the hanger using a “o” split ring. This should be taken into account for the orientation of the hanger. The orientation of the ring will determine how the earring hangers will show in someone's ears. I have tried to explain below. Blue is your design. We will always attach the earring in this manner so please be aware of that.
Necklace:
– The inside diameter of the hole where the necklace will be put through must be at least 3.5mm.
