The first time I downloaded blender was in 1999. I made the hammer that was explained in the tutorial. I knew we would use this in the future. I have had it and my desktop ever since. It has taught me so much about 3D design. I have designed so many things, that I have brought into the world real world. As a tool for translating ideas into reality, Blender is the ultimate. I know its a video on shapeways, but I just wanted to homage Blenders creator. And now CEO of shapeways Peter Weijmarshausen. I owe everything I have to this program. You can say it has created my world. Thank you so much for this gift to the world.
This is the best episode yet. This startup is really awesome. They didn't just build a platform, they even produce all the things, really impressed me. I will definitely try this out. Thanks to TheVerge for introducing this company!
As a low cost proto-typing tool, the 3D printing platform is a maker's dream come true. Hopefully, the first of many more examples of startups specializing in digital-to-physical products to come.
This show needs to be seen by more people! Thousands of people isn't enough, it needs to be hundreds of thousands of people. The production value is amazing, it is super inspiring, and it just goes to show how amazing interent content can be!
Who needs a TV when online shows like this are made so well. So good, and come to Ireland (We are apparently the tech hub of Europe, prove this right!)
Making a video on technology stuff 'INTERESTING' is one of the most difficult thing....... Alexis did it very well Respect for Shapeways of course n respect for Alexis - great host Thanks to THE VERGE
Great, I repeat great show! It shows so many different, but awesome startups and, as somebone already said, it's all perfect and you guys even have a theoretical bacon physicist. What can possibly go wrong. Waiting for the next episodes and I'm hoping for a 2nd season! Keep it up!
I just loved this!!! I watched it because I just discovered the details of their brilliant business model. I am a long time inventor and have been working to license products for years, even with professional help it can be a long time and a challenging path. I still prefer to go the licensing path, but as a back end alternative, I can take products which for whatever reason ( usually sales volume ) would not be successfully licensed and sell them myself through Shapeways. This service, 3D printing in general and crowd sourcing have, and will continue to revolutionize the world and the opportunities for private individuals to bring ideas and inventions into the market all by themselves, as you say " without anyone's permission ". So excited to be alive in these amazing times, Tim B. Green
In 2066: "Welcome to history class kids. Today, we're talking about Rapbando's thought 'Addiive manufacturing is the biggest revolution ever' from 2015. Wow that goof was so wrong..."
Coloring depends on the material. The sandstone is colored during printing and the nylon (the lasered white powder) is dyed in a pigment bath after printing. Metal parts are either printed like nylon, or they print wax models first and cast them :)
Also would be great to organize it in a playlist :) I've been sharing the series via a search query on your channel but some episodes (like this one) doesn't show correctly! :))
So I didn't get it, then I visited their site and immediately understood the sheer genius of this business model. I might just try my luck on safeways haha
Not necessarily... What they didn't cover on here is that a lot of the materials they use on shapeways require more finishing than basic plactics... Like the gold electroplating (not familiar with all the materials they have now, but many are like that). Also, a single machine which can print in ten or twenty different materials is a LOOONG way off, there will always be a place for off-site printing which uses a different machine, even if you have comparable machines for other materials at home.
I add this video to my website I'm a shapeways creator it's a great company I got some stuff made buy them not just my stuff it's amazing stuff thanks for posting the video
this reallt inspire me.. i see the ideas off this.. but it need to be make smart produckt.. ppl use every days.. kitchen tools and way more and mass poduce and make it cheap...
Shapeways is a success because people seem to like novelty trinkets that are fun and cool now, but eventually end up in a box with the rest of their crap in the garage. I went to the website and saw nothing but useless plastic junk.
For many puzzle collectors and makers this site is actually quite useful. The worlds largest Rubik's cube (17x17) and some shape mods were made with the site. Now it is pretty expensive so you might as well buy a 3d pronter

The script , the editing , the host , the guests ... all the things about this show are perfect. Keep up the good work
The bacon thing stopped being funny after four seconds
You could tell everyone in that place was annoyed with this dude.
I was gonna be pissed if there wasn't a top comment about the bacon thing being stupid as hell. So painful to watch...
Yeah dude jeez he just keeps talking and like he's not even a good personality.
It's extremely awesome to see new companies like shapeways paving the way for a new type of economy.

Shapeways was a really good idear.
The Verge know how to make great shows that truly inspire people.
As an artist, Shapeways is literally a dream come true for me. Seeing it from this angle was a great treat. :)
Can't believe I've found these series a year later... :D
Great work.
Truly inspiring!
This is a pretty good show. Never really felt bored watching it.
Thanks for the feedback! We've fixed it up just for you :)

This was the first time I watched Small Empires and I liked it! Congratulations to Alexis and The Verge.
Making a video on technology stuff 'INTERESTING' is one of the most difficult thing.......
Alexis did it very well
Respect for Shapeways of course n respect for Alexis - great host
Thanks to THE VERGE
This is the best show ever!
NOTHING LESS THAN PERFECTION. That's how we roll.
This show is... how should I say this... impacting my feels with contagious inspiration. I already have two objects on mind to make.
Best show on UA-cam
Best episode so far!
What a brilliant series!
Another great video from the verge as always
I concure!!.. Lets get a Small Empires - The Verge!!!
OMG! and these guys ship worldwide! awesome!
Beautifully picturised and edited video
I love this show! I'm a student programmer hoping to make a difference. You should do some of these shows in the uk!
Small Empires is amazing.
Agreed, best episode yet.
I've been waiting my whole life for this.
The best episode I've seen jet! Some day soon I'll be doing manufacturing!! This inspired me!!!
nice epsiode. Nice to see someone from my home country, the netherlands, in view.
I really enjoyed this episode. "Never hear to no's", inspirational achievement.
Size is one advantage they have. Home printers won't be very huge for a while. Or have quite the same set of features. Plus Shapeways is a store also.
These shows are great!
Good question, but for one: most people won't have a HUGE 3D printer at home, so for the bigger items, you still need to go somewhere else.
Alexis does a damn swell job. Also the founder was really informative.
Dude where are the next episodes Verge, you're leaving me hanging guys!
I'm on my second shapeways order with Ittyblox, and I'm hooked.
Yay got started in The Netherlands!
Gotta love the guys Square 1 at 7:35 sitting on the table just a 180 turn away from being solved
Great, I repeat great show! It shows so many different, but awesome startups and, as somebone already said, it's all perfect and you guys even have a theoretical bacon physicist. What can possibly go wrong. Waiting for the next episodes and I'm hoping for a 2nd season! Keep it up!

are they using powder technology? because it looks different than 3d printers
DPS (Damage Per Second) cant be applied if there is no time. The battleaxe would have Damage per hit
can't wait for the next episode!
he is the TED Mosbey of startups
I suddenly realized .. Alexis is as tall as the elevator door?
Not yet! Just taking a small mid-season break.
Additive manufacturing is the biggest revolution ever...remember my words!
In 2066: "Welcome to history class kids. Today, we're talking about Rapbando's thought 'Addiive manufacturing is the biggest revolution ever' from 2015. Wow that goof was so wrong..."
LOL, we'll see in 50 years...
The last episode of Small Empires should be about The Verge :D
How do they do coloring? Also how do they print metal objects?
Coloring depends on the material. The sandstone is colored during printing and the nylon (the lasered white powder) is dyed in a pigment bath after printing. Metal parts are either printed like nylon, or they print wax models first and cast them :)

14:22 I dig that Sutro Tower tattoo.
most exciting video on youtube
3D printing is Magic! :D
I love this show. Alexis how much of Reddit stock do you own? And how many more episodes are left?
2022 we are still mostly printing trinkets
Another big thing that comes from my home town. By the way love the Dutch accent.
Amazing ending.
Whaha, Very good Action! Full of Motivations !
SUPER SIR, GREAT VIDEO TO BRING OUT THE 3D BIZ,WHICH I FEEL IS D FUTURE OF MANUFACTURING..KUDOS
Awsome series
Another inspiring episode. Great work.
Cool credits at 25:05
Theoretical bacon physicist: Alexis Ohanian
I kinda liked the Small Empires epi. no: Company Name because that way I felt curious to know what's it about. :)
Great Show!!
Oh Yeah, I have a lot of great idears for this right here.
get this on tv or netflix!
I notice almost everyone's desk has an Oskar Van Deventer puzzle on it.
How do you know everything about me! Jk. :P
So I didn't get it, then I visited their site and immediately understood the sheer genius of this business model.
I might just try my luck on safeways haha
The best episode so far!
P.S. Does anybody know the title of the song playing at the end credits? Can't find it on Shazam.
awesome episode.
What tracks do you use on these videos?
This was great, thanks
I bought something from shapes like 2 years ago, and it was shipped from Netherlands
one day this will be a billion $ industry "3D printing" get in now and get a peace of the pie because if you do you will be rich one day.
really cool episode !!!!!
Alexis rocked hahaha!
lol that bacon mobius strip made out of real bacon is pure genius!
You have a great job inspiring ideas
Currently the majority of my income comes from selling things on Shapeways.
Great Show! I'm a Big Fan!
Good editing bill and jordan

Awesome - locking really forward to seeing the #3D-model of @LockSchuppen in front of me.
This is awesome!
this reallt inspire me.. i see the ideas off this.. but it need to be make smart produckt.. ppl use every days.. kitchen tools and way more and mass poduce and make it cheap...

I print custom parts for peoples cars. 3d printing isn't just shapeways and thingiverse.
3D print the next best smartphone.
Just ran in to Alexis on the street.. I tried to say "small empires" but I think he was convinced I was a crazy person
This show is great!
That was so cool
