I.Materialise Launches

I.materialise has launched. If you’ve seen 3D printed artistic objects in art galleries, these folks very likely printed them. Arriving on the scene, they appear to be a direct competitor with Shapeways. Materialise does really high end work and they’ve just opened up a business that lets you upload your own designs. Also, they’ve joined thingiverse and have promised to upload and share some of their of their own designs! I love that Thingiverse is the place to share designs, but if you want to get them made and don’t have a printer yet, i.materialise offers another option for turning your designs into beautiful objects. Cool!
