Please forgive my ignorance regarding how this stuff works.
I should have said, that is not quite possible. You do not buy a copy of the file. Only the 3d printed output generated from the file. So you can only enlarge it with the methods already discussed. Either measure from it and create a new 3d cad file, or have it scanned and create a new 3d cad file. With Shapeways, you never see the 3d cad file behind the printed object.Please forgive my ignorance regarding how this stuff works.

Thanks Jim! That is what I figured after I looked at the Shapeways website.
