Last month we launched the first iteration of Print on Demand at Thangs as an early access release. We also explained the roadmap we\u2019ve been working towards since December, which showed that full self-service access would be coming \u2018soon\u2019. We\u2019re now excited to share that \u2018soon<\/strong>\u2019 is now<\/strong>, and the next phase of our Print on Demand (PoD) rollout is now live! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creators on Thangs can now upload models, generate quotes, and create or manage their own listings independently from their dashboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This launch brings even greater flexibility to the ways designers engage with Shapeways\u2019 manufacturing capabilities, giving them full control over their PoD offerings with zero setup time or waitlists. The interface and workflows gel seamlessly with Shapeways\u2019  ability to handle production and fulfillment, giving designers more space to design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For our broader community, especially product teams, startups, and engineers, this marks another step in making our production workflows more open, scalable, and self-serve. Whether you\u2019re validating a design, supporting a creator community, or looking for a manufacturing partner with built-in e-commerce options, we\u2019re continuing to expand what\u2019s possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
