Have you ever built something so absolutely amazing that you wanted to keep it forever? Imagined a structure in Minecraft, and longed to see it brought into the real world?
Well, now's your chance.

Mineways allows you to select various blocks from within the game, trim them up, and send them to 3D printing service, Shapeways.
The process is extremely simple, and after a quick turn around, you can have any Minecraft scene, object, or mob rendered into a real life object of your very own.
