I received an email from Shapeways this morning with, amongst other things, a pilot programme (no pun intended obviously!) called "Extended Production". Essentially, for WSF only, you can opt for a longer production time and in return receive 5% or 10% off your order (if the order consists solely of WSF products).

About the Extended Production Pilot
- For White Strong & Flexible orders that are not urgent, Extended Production will allow you order parts at a great discount based on your model size. Sizes and discounts are as follows:
- Discount of 10% for models under 100mm in all dimensions
- Discount of 5% for all other models
- The discount and lead time for Extended Production is dependent on our capacity, and may change at any time depending on demand
- All Extended Production orders have a lead time of 18 business days
- To order models using Extended Production add only White Strong & Flexible models to your cart and you will see a new Production Speed selection box appear. When you make your selection, the lead time and price will automatically update in your cart.
It seems that you do need to opt in (using the link above) to then be able to use this programme/offer. And since most planes are under 100mm it seems like an easy way to get 10% off (assuming you're buying WSF of course!).
