Shapecloud: The Philippines’ First Online 3D Printing Service

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Shapecloud is the Philippines’ first online 3D printing service that makes the creation process easy for anyone with an idea! At its foundation, the platform allows users to upload their 3D designs, have them 3D printed, and delivered right to their doorstep.

3D printing starts by utilizing 3D designs, to serve as a guide for our 3D printers to precisely layer down heated plastic material, until a physical version of what you see on the design is built up! All over the world, people have used 3D printing for different industries, to create scale models of buildings, product prototypes, personalized gifts, and so much more. At Shapecloud, they take pride in being able to work with users to help them better understand how the technology can play a role in what they’re trying to accomplish.

Starting from the comforts of your own home or office, registering an account on www.shapecloud.ph is completely free. Users will immediately be able to see the “upload” button on the home page, and once they’ve uploaded their 3D design, an email will follow when feedback or an approved quotation has arrived! At this point, you might be thinking “What if I’m not familiar with 3D design?”. What’s interesting about this is that there are a multitude of ways to create or find 3D designs outside of using traditional software (i.e. AutoCad, SketchUp, SolidWorks, etc.), and on the “design guide” portion of our website, users will be able to have a list of easy to use apps, tips for 3D design, and also a collection of free file marketplaces. These marketplaces make it easy for anyone to search up pre-made designs that can be quite specific to your needs.

Since 1996, NorthPine Land, Inc. has specialized in building communities for the middle income market in line with its mission “to make dreams come to life by providing homes and purposeful areas that improve the quality of life.”

The communities built by the company are not just limited to well-designed dream homes. They are spacious, flexible environments that allow for further growth, expansion and healthy social interaction for families big and small.

As a result, NorthPine Land, Inc. has become one of the industry’s major players that has significantly contributed not only to the steady rise of real estate but also to the upward swing of the country’s economy as a whole.

“We at NorthPine Land have always been confident about the consistent boom in real estate in the Philippines that allows us to help many families realize their dream homes,” Alan R. Cruz noted, NorthPine Land, Inc.’s president.

As not a few industry stalwarts have noted that an emerging trend in real estate is the increasing demand for horizontal developments of properties in and outside Metro Manila. In NorthPine Land’s case, the numerous possibilities offered by its communities are also way more preferable than the closed and limited confines of most condominium units.

Amidst all the diet meals and “superfoods” available in the market nowadays, it is easy to become overwhelmed with quite a number of options. Everyday is a challenge to find meals that are healthy enough and will not rack up your cholesterol level.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) filtered down the choices with its approval of a health claim that indicates the consumption of 25 grams of soy protein, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, reduces the risk of coronary heart disease.

Such health claim is significant in the increasing traction towards positive lifestyle changes that will help reduce risk of coronary disease in the long run.

Soy foods come from soybeans, which is commonly consumed in the diet as tofu, tempeh and miso, but is also available to consumers as whole soybeans, soynuts, soy yogurt, soy cheese, and soy milk like Vitamilk, which is made from fresh, non-GMO (genetically modified organism) soybeans packed with 8g of protein, 90mg of calcium, 22mg of potassium, and 33g of carbohydrates. Soy is also a good source of high-quality protein, fiber, and omega-3. It is naturally cholesterol-free and low in saturated fat.
