# How Big Can You 3D Print Your Stuff?

**April 16, 2012**

On the [materials page of Shapeways](/content/materials/index.html) you can find information about the different materials, their price, print dimensions and you can even compare them with the [comparison sheet](/content/materials/material-options/index.html). But, if you are designing, it might be useful to have a quick overview of the maximum print dimensions (in cm) when you want to select a material for your object. This infographic gives you that information, quick and clearly.

Let us know, how do you select your material.

The infographic was produced by [Guido Hermans](http://www.guidohermans.com/) who is currently pursuing a PhD in industrial design focusing on _mass customization through additive manufacturing_ in the Design Research Group at [Umea Institute of Design in north Sweden](http://www.dh.umu.se/). Please welcome Guido who will be a regular contributor to the Shapeways blog, bringing his relevant research and impeccable style.
