# Shapeways Meetup Sydney Recap

April 12, 2011

3D Printing in the Pub.

The first Aussie [Meetup](http://www.meetup.com/Shapeways/) in Sydney was a great success with members of the Shapeways community ranging from long time members, to first time users and even a [Makerbot](http://www.makerbot.com/) user from Sydney hackerspace [Robots And Dinosaurs](http://robodino.org/) taking over a corner of the Hotel Coronation for a 3D printed show and tell.  It was fantastic to get together over a few beers and get to know each other, share 3D printed experiences, modeling, post production tips and laughs.

Also heard a cool story of two co-workers at a workplace of over 300 people who found each other because of the Shapeways packages that arrived via UPS to their respective desks…. The Shapeways Connection…..

Take a look at our [Meetup](http://www.meetup.com/Shapeways/) page to see where we will be getting together next, or [get in touch](/content/contact/index.html) if you would like us to help you organize a meetup in your area.  A big thanks to all of you who came to the [Sydney Meetup](http://www.meetup.com/Shapeways/events/17139040/), we will have to do it again soon.
