Before I started MakerBot, I was creating cool stuff and sharing it with the Internet. That's how I knew all the folks at BoingBoing, at Engadget and Gizmodo.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We started MakerBot in 2009 and made a conscious decision to educate people with the possibilities they could do with 3D printing and share with people what is possible.
I'm an investor in MakerBot, which is a good example of the 'thingiverse'. The idea of applying collaboration and rapid iteration to things that we interact with and hold in our hands every day is super revolutionary.
When people have a MakerBot, they have a different mindset from everybody else who grew up as a consumer. Instead of thinking, 'I need to go buy that,' they first think, 'Do I need to go buy that? I could just MakerBot that.'
Our intention is that people use MakerBots to have a positive impact on the world.
I love producing! It's so much fun to start with a blank canvas and create the picture you want to create and see it all come together.
I prefer making stuff to talking about how I made the stuff.
It takes a lot of help - nature, friends, family, craftsmen - for me to make what I make.
I have all the tools and gadgets. I tell my son, who's a producer, 'You never work for the machine; the machine works for you.'
I think you have to create your own stuff so I'm working on stuff for myself right now.
I love making things for people.
