Amy Purdy Quotes

We have always moved with this approach of sharing and educating people with what they can unlock with 3D printing.

The next episode of 3D printing will involve printing entirely new kinds of materials. Eventually we will print complete products - circuits, motors, and batteries already included. At that point, all bets are off.

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.

3D printing has digitized the entire manufacturing process.

3D printing will massively reduce the cost of certain products as the cost of labor is removed.

Creating life at the speed of light is part of a new industrial revolution. Manufacturing will shift from centralised factories to a distributed, domestic manufacturing future, thanks to the rise of 3D printer technology.

Even a small village in the middle of Africa with a 3D printer will have access to any good it can download. The world of the 'Star Trek' replicator is not far away.

Similar to computer technology in the '60s, 3-D printing is a universal technology that has the potential to revolutionize our life by enabling individuals to design and manufacture things.

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.

We're now able to 3D print in 200 different materials, from titanium to rubber, plastic, glass, ceramic, leathers, and even chocolate.

We wanted people to 3-D-print anything, not just more 3-D printers.

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.

3D printing is already shaking our age-old notions of what can and can't be made.

You can go from creating the design on your iPad to making the object on your MakerBot.

I wanted clothing that I couldn't find, so I decided to make it.

It's what I've trained for, from the first sketch to the fabric. Making dresses that are different from the usual style, and a lot of fun to wear.

The 3D-printing technology has been developing at a very rapid pace.

How can we reinterpret 3-D printing in a way that suggests a new design language?

Startups are now creating specialized 3-D printers capable of producing everything from synthetic hamburgers to multi-story apartment buildings.

Most people don't feel empowered to make CAD models. The MakerBot Digitizer solves that problem.

I really think that creating clothes and fashion has to be a statement about how we live and where we live and what's happening in the world.

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.'

I want to put concepts in front of people that make them laugh or smile or even hate what I do. I'm not interested in just putting clothes in stores.

I'd love to design stuff that I'd like to wear and that other people could wear, too.
