Shapeways appears to have filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Sad news indeed.

It is unclear if everyone walked away and they shut off the power, if they are finishing existing orders, or if they are continuing on. As Jim notes the website is up, and I have not received any notice from Shapeways directly. This is only what I can glean from the internet.

I know I have one order in production right now. Another vendor has reached out to me expressing interest in my models.

I would certainly be leery to order anything. Back in the days of mail order I remember getting ripped off by one (Crazy Charlie's) that cashed the check while they were bankrupt and didn't have any stock. Never got a penny back and that hurt as a college student. Using credit card protection is much better today but still a hassle. Sure hope you get your order.
