One of the things that sets Shapeways apart from other 3D printing services is the variety of materials and finishes that they offer. Customers can choose from a range of plastics, metals, and ceramics, each with their own unique properties and aesthetics.

One potential downside of Shapeways is that the pricing can be on the higher side, particularly for more complex or intricate designs. However, the quality of the finished product and the range of materials and finishes available may make it worth the extra cost for certain projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Shapeways do not take responsibility for defect parts"
What do you like best about Shapeways?

The range of materials and accessibility Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Shapeways?

After 3 years of ordering parts from shapeways for my business, they sent one of my orders with defect parts.

Another 10 frustrating days of emailing customer service without shapeways taking responsibility about this case, left me with very unhappy clients of mine that I needed to compensate. including one poor guy, who ordered a wedding ring and needed to rush and find a replacement just before his wedding.

I am now checking for a substitute provider. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
