For the designer lurking in all of us, now you can easily and cheaply make your designs a reality, courtesy of Shapeways. Shapeways is a 3D printing firm. In case you have no idea what that is, you can read all about it on their website.
Shapeways offers a choice of materials (glass, stainless steel, plastic etc.) so all you have to do is upload your design, select your material and wait for the mailman or mailwoman to show up with your goodies.
For example, using the Image Popper tool on their website, you can turn a 2D graphic into a 3D model of a jewelry pendant or a nameplate for your desk or company logo.
If you decide you have a flair for design and want to make some money, you can set up your own store on the Shapeways website and sell your products to the world.
