Making Progress

We are making good progress in setting up the site, sorting out product lines, running test prints and tweaking designs. The desk is starting to look a bit cluttered (but in a good way).

Testing our 3D PrintsThere are a few initial products loaded into a Sculpteo shop with corresponding products loaded into this site.  Some experimentation is needed to get the right settings to point the products in this site shop at the products in the other.  Longer term we plan to use the APIs published by Sculpteo to make this more seamless.  But that is a project for another day.

A bit more testing planned for the coming days, and then we should be ready to launch.
