Testimonials
“This software has been a truly great tool to introduce a wide variety of students/artists at my location to the concept of 3D ceramic printing.”
“Every time someone tries it, they are amazed by how easy it is to use.”
“Most of my student are artists, who either don’t like computers or don’t have much experience with them and the concept of computer design scares them a bit. That is until I demo Potterware.”
