Why Shapeways Closed its Doors

shapeways bankrupted

Honestly, we’re surprised that Shapeways didn’t closed much sooner, and that was years before they obtained so much investor support and financing. While our SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) 3d printing pricing was very competitive with the majority of their offerings (beating them several times),  it still baffled us as to how Shapeways could undercut some […]
