Delivery to countries of the European Union has become a lot cheaper. i.materialise swapped from express service delivery to standard delivery. Standard delivery means road transport and thus in some cases 1 or 2 days slower than the express delivery but in favor of your wallet.

Sander Spolspoel created a 3d model of his logo and was curious how it would look like in real life. The logo looks like a fresh green plant that has just germinated with tiny roots at the bottom. In the video you see Sander holding his logo, printed by i.materialise.
i.materialise team wishes everyone Happy Holidays!Why i.materialise was born
1985. For the first time I was invited to my girlfriend's parents house and had to find an original gift for the Christmas party. Pondering many items to shop for, I could not find anything that really fitted the occasion. I finally decided to make something myself. Somewhat naive, I risked hitting the limitations of my creativity and skills, but I decided to imitate some artifacts seen on a previous holiday in Spain.Top lamp designs for November 2009
It’s been almost a month since we launched our beta. During this time, we have been astonished by some of the designs we have received and produced with our “Create your own” functionality. Here are some of the lamp models we produced in November for our customers.Rhino plugin launched
We are happy to announce i.materialise has launched a Rhino plugin, which is now available in our download section! The plugin takes care of exporting your model to the i.materialise website, committing to our vision to ‘make 3D printing as easy as printing on paper’.
We are big fans of Rhinoceros. It is very well suited for creating free-form designs, which makes it a great package to design your own customized products. Combine it with 3D printing to materialise your creations and you will get awesome results.
