What is your experience with Shapeways service and pricing?

They seem to be the cheapest around for SLS parts in the regular nylon material. Their delivery times are really not bad either, 6 days is pretty good. Smaller service bureau's seem to be much more expensive than SW for the same part.

I can tell you right now that Ive searched and searched for for weeks trying to find the best deal and quality out there and a jewelry shop recommended shapeways to me. Quality and price is the best I've seen. I only work with silver, and I always get my models done in Raw Silver from shapeways then I finish them myself. Yeah, without a doubt, shapeways is the best deal out there. Below are a few of my designs I did through shapeways.

Yeah, I do jewelry, thats all I do. Custom requests especially if you have something already drawn up or reference images but a jewelry case I've never done.

Good afternoon 3dstuffadmin,

What type of jewelry case are you interested in having, like a box or enclosure with a lid? Let me know, I might be able to help you.

Have a terrific Holiday Season!

Shapeways is a good place to explore the various materials. Their prices are at market for smaller pieces. With larger pieces in SS/Bronze iMaterialize can be significantly less expensive - 20 - 40%. Commercial vendors may advertise lower prices per cc but getting them to do your part(s) based on my experience may not be fruitful.
