Today we’re excited to announce that we are exploring ways to expand our Global Partner Network so that we can continue to improve upon what’s most important to you: quality of products, speed of delivery, breadth of material choices, and affordable prices. In addition to our 3D printing factories in New York and Eindhoven, we also work with our Global Partner Network, a group of dozens of production partners across the world who help us give our community access to the best and most affordable 3D printing options in the market.

Our goal has always been to be the place for people to make their ideas come to life, and we’re excited to give our community more choice. 3D printing is changing rapidly, with new materials being tested and introduced (including our own!), and we always want to give our community first access.

With that in mind, we’d love to learn more about what 3D printers you own, whether it’s a desktop printer that you use personally or a host of 3D printers you run as part of a business, fab lab, or service. If you have a 3D printer and want to make parts and products for other people, we want to hear from you!

With customers in over 130 countries, over 2M products printed and hundreds of thousands of designers on our platform, Shapeways supports a huge, global community. Give us a shout if you would be interested in joining our Global Partner Network and we’ll reach out in the future if there are opportunities to collaborate.
