Shapeways, Inc. (NYSE: SHPW), a global leader in the digital
manufacturing industry, announced today the expansion of its
medical customer base within its Enterprise Manufacturing Solutions

As an FDA contract manufacturer, Shapeways is a key driver of

patient-specific surgical guides, and unique sleep aids.
“By segmenting data from DICOM images, we enable the creation of
highly personalized medical aids and devices through additive
manufacturing. These tools increase precision in surgical settings
and drastically improve patient outcomes,” said Greg Kress, CEO of
Shapeways. “The ability to produce patient-specific medical devices
at high volumes with exceptional quality is a key market
differentiator–and our superpower at Shapeways.”
Shapeways collaborates with its medical customers to tailor
manufacturing solutions that support their business growth. This
includes creating clean-room environments, offering custom
packaging options, and providing dedicated equipment for products
headed for medical use. These processes minimize the risk of
product contamination, enhance the patient experience, and
contribute to improved patient outcomes.
“We actively seek to collaborate with organizations that drive
medical innovation,” said Aidan O’Sullivan, GM of Enterprise
Solutions for Shapeways. “The beauty of 3D printing is it fits so
well in this space, allowing us to adapt in design and production,
and respond to custom medical needs quickly and accurately
providing unprecedented opportunities in personalized
healthcare.”
Looking ahead, Shapeways is poised to tap into new medical
markets within South America, Asia, and the Middle East. Shapeways’
investment in medical technology goes beyond just business growth,
showing a deep commitment to helping other companies address
