Shapeways

Shapeways is a global industrial 3D printing and additive manufacturing platform founded in 2007. Originally spun out of Royal Philips Electronics in Eindhoven, the company provides businesses and designers with on-demand production across 12 additive manufacturing technologies — including SLS, Multi Jet Fusion, SLA, Binder Jetting, and SLM — in over 90 materials and finishes. Shapeways serves industries from medical devices and aerospace to robotics, consumer goods, and jewelry, offering services from rapid prototyping to production-scale manufacturing with no minimum order quantities. The platform has manufactured over 24 million parts and shipped to more than 180 countries. In July 2024, Shapeways filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy; its brand and assets were subsequently acquired and the company continues to operate as an industrial manufacturing partner.
