Join our Next 3D Printing Meetup!
3D printing thrives because of the inspiration provided by our community. That is why we like to showcase their creations on our blog to inspire all of you. And a couple of times a year we invite our community for a meetup at the Materialise headquarters. Including an exclusive behind the scenes, such meetups are ideal for those of you that are fantasizing about creating objects but don’t know exactly where to start.
