Shapeways yesterday announced support for yet another awesome material: ceramics.  Ceramics is a particularly cool because it it is food safe and thus unlocks the market for 3D printed dishwares.  That includes my admittedly fairly lame chop stick holders, which I have immediately re-ordered in ceramics (also turns out that the first go around I made them too small). 

Of course, I also expect to see some fantastic sculptures in ceramics, as well as other art and fashion uses of the material.  Joanne has a great post about jewelry making on Shapeways on her Gotham Gal blog today.  There is also a NY Times blog post about the introduction of ceramics.

Congrats to the Shapeways team on this exciting news!
