100 duck-sized horses! Everyone can make his/her own and make them super special. That's the power of 3D printing :)

1) We see both! Depending on popularity sometimes we print more functional things like camera mounts, puzzles etc. Sometimes we see more design-oriented things. But then you have beautiful products that combine both. Like Bathsheba's Klein bottle bottle opener :) 2) We already partner with other companies that print parts for our community. 3) No :)

We would love to! However the current technology does not allow this. When we find the tech to make this happen, we will allow it.

Yes, 3Dprinting is becoming cheaper!

Example: When we started an iPhone case costed over $70, now you can get one on Shapeways for less than $20! We are really committed to making 3D printing much cheaper still in the future. That's what everyone at Shapeways is focused on!

We would print the woodchuck in metal - assemble it to a power tool and guess what - lots of wood will be chucked ;)
