Giving souvenirs is one of the great ways to thank your guests and leave them with a reminder of your most special day ( may it be your wedding, birthday or anything worth celebrating for) for years to come. Some chooses to show their appreciation to their invitees by splashing them with extravagant souvenirs; while others opt to give practical gifts. For me, one of the reasons that made me choose my wedding souvenir (see it here ) last October is its uniqueness. That is why, when I came across Shapeways' site, I got fascinated by their designs.
So what is Shapeway? According to its website :
Shapeways is the world's leading 3D Printing marketplace and community. Their products are designed by its community members some of whom offer freelance design services. They use industrial size 3D Printers to create the products, often in combination with post-processing, like dyeing and polishing (see sample video here courtesy of www.3dprintingphilippines.com). Shapeways offers everything from keychains, to rings and cufflinks.
Here are some of the inspiring designs I saw in their site:
