Working with Shapeways

Recently i’ve taken up a job to design some cufflinks for a client in which a logo need to be translated into a 3D form and made into a cufflink. The final work/model has been sent off to a printing service called ‘Shapeways’ facilitating a printing service in a range of materials. In this case the cufflinks are to be printed in a Polished Gold Steel ‘Enrobed in 24k gold and polished to a mild sheen with visible print lines’ The job will take will take around 4 weeks to complete, 2 weeks for the job and another 2 for postage. The job will be great illustration of the quality and precision that can achieve with service. Post will be updated with more pictures and evaluation  on the finished model when print job has been received.
