We're on the brink of the next industrial revolution. Instead of buying things, you can make them on a printer. When you have a 3D printer, you can iterate more - what used to take months, now takes hours.
From Bre Pettis
We have always moved with this approach of sharing and educating people with what they can unlock with 3D printing.
Learn how a 3D printer works. Get inspired. Make your own stuff. It is a wonderful time to be innovative. Connect things together. If you're into electronics, get an Arduino.
My parents had a software company making children's software for the Apple II+, Commodore 64 and Acorn computers. They hired these teenagers to program the software, and these guys were true hackers, trying to get more colors and sound and animation out of those computers.
My father was a ham radio geek, and I remember the glow of the vacuum tubes from a Hammarlund receiver that became a hand-me-down to me.
While at The Evergreen State College, I met Doranne Crable, and she was so dynamic and adventurous that I decided on the spot to take whatever she taught.
I feel like I've lived a life of making mistakes and learning from them and doing my best to only make each mistake once.
You can go from creating the design on your iPad to making the object on your MakerBot.
Our intention is that people use MakerBots to have a positive impact on the world.
I like to make things. It's been part of my identity since I was a kid.
