Hi its John from Shapeways. Its awesome to see all this great feedback for Shapeways. To answer your question POPOEVER the Designs are up to 40 x 35 x 40 cm (h x w x d) == 17Â¾ x 13Â¾ x 17Â¾ inch can be produced at this moment. We are looking to increase this size of course in the future

Shapeways is one of a growing number of 3D print services, most of which are trying to carve out a niche in this rapidly growing space. Some companies cater to consumers, providing figurine or avatar printing at the touch of a button, while others accept hard-core 3D .STL model files. We cover the news on 3D printing and digital fabrication daily on http://fabbaloo.com, especially new devices, software and especially unusual uses of 3D print tech.

That's great! I'm looking forward to this kind of service, but don't know if they can print big size model, I'm working in some house appliance model not that tiny size in the demo movie.

It's a step towards more consumer based 3D printing... I'm excited.
