In the video below, Andy Greenberg from Forbes interviews Shapeways Evangelist Duann Scott onsite at their New York factory. Scott answers questions ranging from technical to strategic.
Highlights of the interview:
- Shapeways uses Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) to get finer resolution and more flexibility than fused deposition modeling (FDM) can offer.
- Scott does not see home 3D printers as competition; to the contrary, people with 3D printers at home will become better designers, testing their iterative concepts at home and then looking to a marketplace like Shapeways for the final product.
- Shapeways also enables customers to sell their designs and print in a multitude of materials.
- They built their factory in New York to be close to their customers.
See why Duann Scott calls Shapeways the “Amazon of 3D printing” in the video below.
