Shapeways integrates Zverse software to accelerate 3D design solutions

Shapeways, a New York-headquartered 3D printing marketplace and service bureau, has partnered with ZVerse to integrate its CAD as a Service CADaaS platform. Driven by AI, CADaaS will enable the design of new 3D models and the optimization of existing 3D files all within the Shapeways website. John Carrington, founder and CEO of ZVerse, explained: Our CADaaS platform bridges the 3D design gap, which in turn opens the sales pipeline for Shapeways and others in on-demand manufacturing. Typically, ODMs reject up to 40% of job requests because customers don’t have the manufacturable 3D files they need. Instead, we turn this gap into business by taking care of their customers who don’t have files or need them optimized, and deliver them back through a fast and seamless experience.
