Within A Designer's Room

I do love a good project!  I placed a Shapeways order in August with their free shipping event.  I went a little overboard. In conversation with  Shapeways,  I learned more about 3D printed miniatures and additive manufacturing , and how they can be used.  More excitingly, they now print not only in plastic, …

Shapeways Fun!

My Shapeways order arrived!  This is my first foray into additive manufacturing and  3D printed plastic miniature items. I had lusted for some 3D printed items for a while and I caved.
