China is open for business

Stay Updated with Us on WeChat! We don't rely on Meetup for schedule changes – be part of our WeChat group (add GTcanada) to ensure you're always in the know.

Japan's GDP is larger than that of the entire ASEAN region, yet China's trade with Japan is only about one-third of its trade with ASEAN. Given that Shanghai is approximately a two-hour flight from Osaka, it is closer to Osaka than any ASEAN country. This proximity highlights the potential for increased business between China and Japan. To explore this opportunity, we are forming a WeChat group and invite discussions in Chinese, English, or Japanese.

When we have enough people, we will hold offline events in China and/or Japan.

DO NOT FORGET TO ADD GTcanada to your WeChat.

Please add my WeChat GD-Karen. All final arrangements and event details are shared on WeChat. I will add you to a WeChat group. Remember to mention 3D Printing when you add me as I have a few WeChat groups.

Hello everyone, my name is Karen.
I’ve launched a 3D-printing startup near People’s Square, and I’d like to connect with others who are interested in 3D printing—whether for technical discussions, resource sharing, or project collaboration.
From time to time, I may have larger projects where partnership could benefit everyone involved. If so, I’d be glad to share both the work and the revenue.
Hope to meet fellow enthusiasts soon.

### Please contact me using WhatsApp only

Hi everyone! I’m Karen, and I run a small 3D printing studio right in the heart of People’s Square, Shanghai.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, designer, engineer, hobbyist, or someone with a cool idea you’ve always wanted to turn into reality — let’s connect!
I’m exploring overseas collaboration opportunities, especially with:

• 🌐 Foreigners living in Shanghai
• ✈️ Foreigners abroad who want to test or produce small-batch items in China

### What we can discuss

• Feasibility of 3D-printing industrial components, prototypes, or personal-use products
• Choosing suitable materials for strength, flexibility, or precision
• Small-batch production for startups
• How to 3D print in Shanghai and ship overseas, or
• Have your printed items carried back home by community members traveling abroad

### Why join?

Shanghai is a global manufacturing hub — and 3D printing makes prototyping fast, flexible, and cost-effective. This meetup is a chance to share your ideas, ask questions, and see what's possible.
No prior experience required — just curiosity!
