Pinshape is happy to announce the

We've teamed with some great 3D industry partners to offer an amazing set of prizes to entrants, and hopefully brighten the day of sick kids through the magic of 3D printing. We'll not only provide physical prizes to the winners, but we'll will give them access to a huge audience on Amazon.com, who Pinshape recently teamed up with, and most importantly,
we'll donate 3D printed versions of the top toys to the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital.ThemeKids Toys - static figurines, action figures, puzzles, games/game pieces, etc

About PinshapeWe are a Mountain View based startup company that is creating a premier 3D printing marketplace. We are focused on making it simple to find great 3D printed products from the industry's best designers (exclusive, manually approved designer pool) and allow people to print designs at home on your own printer, or have our professional print service print and ship them to their door. We are a combination of Etsy, Pinterest and iTunes for 3D printing.
We're different than the other people out there right now for a few important reasons:
- We allow downloads, streaming AND a professional print service with 35+ materials
- We are hardware agnostic - we want to support all 3D printers, not just one we sell
- We are focused on printability - every model has to be printable through our service to be sold or shared
- We have an exclusive design community- we manually review and approve each designer to ensure quality of the community
The launch of the contest will coincide with our site redesign, which you can see some previews of here: https://dribbble.com/dembsky/projects/214336-Pinshape
We are part of Batch 9 of the 500 Startups accelerator program.
