title: Shapeways Cart Models API
version: v1
description: 'The Shapeways API provides programmatic access to Shapeways'' on-demand 3D printing and additive manufacturing platform: browse the material catalog, upload and manage 3D models, retrieve shipping options, and place and track manufacturing orders. Authentication is OAuth 2.0 (client_credentials for single-account apps, authorization_code + refresh_token for multi-user apps). Endpoints are versioned with a trailing /v1 path segment. This document is a faithful transcription of the public API reference published at https://developers.shapeways.com/ — it is not an official Shapeways OpenAPI document.'
