Delivery Times & Pricing

All prices exclude VAT and Sales Tax.

Production Time

Our production times vary based on materials products are 3D printed in. Visit the Materials page to find specific production times for each material. Please note that we ship all ordered products together, so the product in your order with the longest production time will determine when your order will ship. You can see the estimated ship date for your order in your shopping cart or on the order status page once you've placed the order.

We do our best to get your orders to you as quickly as possible. The listed production times for Shapeways materials take into account the challenges of manufacturing unique and untested designs. This means that many items ship ahead of schedule, though we cannot guarantee it. Unfortunately, some designs may also face delays. We'll provide email alerts to keep you updated on the status of your order, and you can always check your order status page.
