Behind the scenes at Shapeways, New York's 3D-printing marketplace

3D printing is one of the hottest trends in tech, mainly because what was once an esoteric, expensive process is now as simple as uploading a file.

People can buy 3D printers to use at home, but companies like Shapeways offer commercial-grade printing at prices low enough to discourage anyone but an enthusiast to bother investing in a printer of their own.

TechHive took a peek inside Shapeways' Queens factory, which opened last October. If you can dream it, Shapeways can probably print it, all from the nondescript New York warehouse it calls home.
