Fundamentally, we believe the combination of software and digital manufacturing technology can be incredibly powerful in breaking down barriers to the design and manufacturing of parts and products to create solutions for the real-world challenges of our clients
We believe that the Shapeways brand, the value of the Shapeways service and the bigger vision behind Shapeways helps us to realise that mission.
We have started the journey to bring Shapeways home: home to the team that ran the successful and sustainable Eindhoven facility, to two of the original co-founders and to the wider Shapeways community.
As the new leaders our focus is on rebuilding the stable, profitable business that was there all along, expanding it successfully by harnessing responsible entrepreneurship, collaboration and innovation.
Driving innovation that provides solutions to our customers’ and their customers’ challenges is both fun to do and rewarding. We see the impact Shapeways can have and the opportunity to do that responsibly as we begin a new journey. We are especially excited about deploying our technology to offer solutions to the real-world problems of our clients; whether it is a need for optimizing their spare parts portfolio, increasing the lifespan of machinery or making their supply chain more agile. Many of these solutions and products directly impact sustainability and our impact on the world.
