I regularly use Shapeways for my engineering design business. I use a variety of materials, from SLS nylon to DMLS aluminum, to binder-jetted and sintered stainless steel. Great customer service and very competitive pricing with a rush delivery option, which is nice.
I received my parts after a delay of two weeks from the post office. Thanks to Adela at Safeway's, the parts were delivered a few days after she was contacted. Thank you for the great support. To add on, Once I received parts that were not a strong as the material indicated they would be for the material properties. Shapeways sent me new parts at no charge. 5 s

Can't thank these guys enough.
Top quality work, amazingly quick delivery and great comms.
My son and I are very happy.
Thanks again.
Kind regards Ruben and Judd.
Great products, very clean and smooth finish. I am very happy with the quality of the products that I received. Thanks for the great items I received.
Products don't match advertised designs. When they don't it's not their problem, it's the designer's fault. Some customer service. I'm all set. Done doing business with ya. Thanks.
No phone support, email response delayed until they could say too late to change design. Wasted hundreds. Snarky, uncaring, bad quality. Look elsewhere.

Asked to cancel order minutes after I placed it.
Customer service rep. Responded by asking if I was sure I wanted to cancel it. After 5 emails back and forth they had waited so long the order went into production then they refused to cancel it
Asked to cancel an order minutes after placing it.
Customer service rep would not cancel it. Instead they kept asking if I was sure I wanted to cancel that order.
They eventually waited so long the item went into production then they “couldn’t cancel it” and said I should have asked to cancel before it entered production
Service was very good. Had an issue with possible double charge (error on my end) but they were fast to respond.
So far, there have been no issues with my parts.
Delivery on last order was fast - way better than their original posted ship date.
Shapeways has been helping me with my projects since 2014. Their service has always been reliable. On the very rare occasions that there was a mishap, Shapeways was quick to remedy it.
I strongly recommend Shapeways.
I absolutely recommend this service for the most professional level of printed products anywhere. Quick story: I had trouble with some designs that I picked up from Thingyverse because I had them resized to a smaller scale. They did in fact point out that a number of areas would be extremely thin to print and gave me a choice to print it anyways OR to resend it in after editing the models myself. Problem is that I don't work with 3D modeling and it would take me forever to figure out how to fix it all. I emailed their customer service about it and the kind folk at Shapeways made an exception for me and fixed up all the designs for me. Such great people. Emails were all sent back and forth within a day; very satisfied with their support team. Thank you again!
Right from the start I was impressed by their service with target delivery/production dates given and subsequently matched. Delivery was marred by one of the delicate products being damaged as a result of some sort of impact whilst in transit and defeating the protective packaging. However Shapeways were immediately responsive by offering a replacement and the order was then satisfactorily completed.
Very helpful and produce great quality items. Gives great information on how to proceed with your design.
Shapeways Questions & Answers
Posted on 03/11/2021
As I understand them, Shapeways is (1) a store, and vendors display their products (manufactured on demand by Shapeways) and (2) a manufacturer that 3D prints products. I'm a hobbyist and enjoy making art projects with TinkerCAD. I've ordered and received 4 projects from Shapeways (with more in the pipeline). Their quality is good, and their prices are usually the best. I've been very satisfied.

In my opinion they're scammers, refusing to refund you when they send you an incorrect product.
