For the sake users and for the sake of industries, please resist any Autodesk acquisition. They will surely come sniffing around when Shapr3D is seen to have market share value, the risk is Shapr3D being bought, put on life support for a few years then ‘End of life’d’.

This has echoes of my own post asking for reassurance regarding the iPad recently.

It’s a huge compliment, I think, when people look at what happens to beautiful unique products in the world, and they fear losing something they really find valuable.

It’s a testament to your team. 👏
