"Shapeways Files for Bankruptcy

July 6, 2024

3D printing service Shapeways has filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. On July 2, 2024, Shapeways Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries submitted a voluntary petition in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. This filing signals the end of Shapeways’ operations, with a trustee to oversee the liquidation of its assets and schedule an initial hearing for creditors.

The bankruptcy filing caused defaults on several debt obligations, including a $669,500 secured promissory note with 3DP Custom Manufacture, LLC. This debt, entered into on June 10, 2024, had an interest rate tied to the one-month SOFR plus 6% and was due on July 5, 2024. The funds were earmarked exclusively for payroll obligations, reflecting Shapeways’ dire financial state before the bankruptcy.

Alongside the bankruptcy filing, the entire executive team and board of directors resigned. CEO Greg Kress, CFO Alberto Recchi, COO Andy Nied, and directors Leslie C.G. Campbell, Raj Batra, Ryan Kearny, Christine Gorjanc, Josh Wolfe, and Greg Kress stepped down. These resignations were attributed to the bankruptcy and not to any disputes over company operations or policies.

Founded in 2007, Shapeways initially thrived by providing high-quality, customizable 3D printed products. Despite its early success and a 2021 public listing through a merger with Galileo Acquisition Corp, the company struggled to sustain growth, leading to significant financial losses by 2023."

Manuevo BV from Eindhoven buys the assets of Shapeways BV

Eindhoven, July 29, 2024 – Manuevo BV, based in Eindhoven, has acquired the assets of the bankrupt Shapeways BV. Shapeways BV was a subsidiary of the American publicly traded Shapeways Holding Inc., which originated in Eindhoven at the Philips LifeStyle Incubator in 2008. Although Shapeways BV was a profitable company and delivered 16 million products to customers worldwide, it was unfortunately dragged into the bankruptcy of the American parent organization in early July.

Manuevo BV was founded by the local management team in collaboration with two former Shapeways co-founders and has raised financing for a restart. Manuevo operates fromwww.manuevo.com as the brand name and the use of www.shapeways.com are still tied up in the American bankruptcy. Manuevo will mainly focus on B2B customers who need small and medium series of 3D-printed and finished products.

Jules Witte, formerly Plant Manager at Shapeways BV and currently COO of Manuevo, says: “The Eindhoven team has been delivering high-quality parts with personal service for many years, and our customers have missed this service over the past month. Supported by the intention of many of our customers to return, we are pleased that we can make a restart; the unanimously positive responses from our regular customers are heartwarming. The team is particularly motivated to show that we can be independently successful.”
