Philips' Lifestyle Incubator has announced its latest project, the Shapeways Creator. In addition to recently-launched Shapeways, a new web-based platform and global community for 3D-design and production, the Creator Engine allows those unfamiliar with software in the third dimension to alter existing designs, which include just a fruit bowl and light-up word thing, for now.

For the first time,consumers without 3D modeling skills can shape, mash, imprint anddesign their own 3D products in just a few mouse clicks at Shapeways.com. From lamps with a personal message to fruit bowls linking back to memorable moments, the Shapeways Creator Engine has a beta library of predesigned product templates which is expected to grow rapidly over 2009.

Hi! I'm part of the team at Shapeways. Thank you so much for posting about our new Customization Engine. We're hoping to enable consumers to create unique and beautiful gifts without having the skills or expensive programs needed to do 3D Design for themselves.

If there's anything else you would like to know about Shapeways, please let me know!
