3D Printing Made Easy
Issue 112
|How It Works
We chat with Lauren Slowik from Shapeways about making 3D printing accessible to the world
-
Lauren is the manager of education and design evangelism for Shapeways, a world-leading 3D printing company that offers commercial-grade printing to the general public. Lauren teaches people how to design and print in different materials using 3D design software and additive manufacturing technologies. Now, Lauren is launching a free course that Shapeways are producing in partnership with the New York Public Library. The Make It, Print It, Sell It course will put the power of 3D creation and enterprise into the hands of anyone willing to learn.
Could you explain a little about Shapeways and your role in the company?
Shapeways is the world’s largest online 3D printing service. We deliver 3D prints straight to your door, all printed on the most cutting-edge technology. We currently offer over 60 materials and finishes, and have factories and offices in New York and the Netherlands and partners around the globe. My role here at the company is to help lower the barrier to entry to 3D modelling and 3D printing. This means creating tutorials and accessible content that people can tap into for free.
