14 DAY TRIAL // Since 3D printing needs very special equipment, there is room for companies that want to set up services to take on requests.
Shapeways is one of the upstart companies that stand a good chance of securing a large block of the 3D printing industry because of that.
The company has now launched its online community which lets people visit its website, check various designs, download more, even upload their own.
Most important, however, is the offer by Shapeways to accept orders, and print items in one or more out of 30 materials.
Even fully fabricated items can be sold, though small craft makers will be the most fortunate, since large things are more troublesome and expensive.
On that note, even jewelry parts can be printed in metal. You can visit the website here.
