Individual Pieces on Shapeways

Standard size individual pieces are available for purchase on Shapeways.com in a variety of materials.   The unique sculptural quality of each piece makes for excellent gift items. I am particularly fond of their stainless steel material which is available in a variety of polished or matte finishes.  Each piece is available in a variety of material and finish options.
