I’ve had an email from Shapeways today to say they are coming back after filing for bankruptcy last July.

For those who sold items on the platform will need to re-register and load their content again.

Hopefully it will be another source of aftermarket parts again.


“Dear Mark,

I am delighted to announce that Shapeways is coming home.

Two original co-founders along with the highly-skilled leadership team from our Eindhoven factory have stepped in to steward the company into its next chapter. After Shapeways Inc. filed for bankruptcy in July, we knew we had to resurrect the company and preserve the digital manufacturing engine we all helped to build - a combination of dedicated, skilled people, cutting-edge machinery and sophisticated software. Moving forward, our focus is on rebuilding Shapeways and leveraging our digital manufacturing engine for our customers’ success.”

Mark
