Banu Kose – “The first things I printed were the models of two pediatric pulmonary arteries with stenosis”
Juliette Prebot – “It is incredible how very simple 3D-printing parts, designed using a user-centered approach, can have such a positive impact on people life”
Alex Kingsbury – “It took a lot of courage to leave a great job and venture into the unknown, but I’ve made a success of it and that is something I’m really proud of”
Yuko Oda – “I am particularly drawn to bringing together the digital and non-digital in one piece, and creating a dialog between the two”
Shweta Thapa – “The 3D printing industry has given us innumerable options for getting different machines, materials, etc. but it doesn’t tell you which machine is best suited for your application”
Sarah Pavis – “I’m good at 3D printing because I’m a mechanical engineer but you shouldn’t need to be a machinist to have success”
Sonette du Preez – “My research will serve a starting point for assisting AM facilities in implementing effective control measures necessary to prevent and eliminate or reduce AM operator exposure to potential hazards”
Katie Hardiman – “There is currently a polymer material race in the additive world happening, new materials are being released quarterly creating new opportunities and new ideas for new products to be developed”
Dawn Morse – “I often tell people our 3D prints are ‘Art.’ And what makes art so valuable is the story behind it. Each and every sculpture in our studio has a story which is priceless”
Lee-Bath Nelson – “For me, additive manufacturing is most impressive as an enabler of distributed manufacturing”
Diana Kalisz – “I was one of the project managers for the program to develop and introduce the first large format 3D printer, the SLA-500”
Qurratulain (Annie) Mehdi – “I wanted to re-live good times with some tangible souvenirs from the past”
Alison Mendoza – “For years, we’ve been seeking the obvious wins. As I like to say, it’s time to uncover the overlooked”
Timea Tihanyi – “Rule-making and rule-breaking, by accident or by intention, is my focus in the emerging area of ceramic 3D printing”
Lieve Boeykens – “Is there extra scrutiny because I’m a woman? Perhaps. But I’m more than able to stand my ground and I believe we all have to prove our worth, regardless of whether you’re a man or a woman”
Steph Piper – “Printing isn’t just about making knick-knacks. Print things that extend the life of things that you might otherwise throw away. Print utilitarian, useful things that look great”
YouJung Choi – “As we introduce more 3D printing to our design process, we can cut down the lead time of development by 1-2 months”
Lilian van Daal -“I want to contribute to the re-appreciation of things, objects and more specifically our environment”
Jenna Margaria – “It’s funny to see the surprise on people’s faces when you say you are an engineer. It shouldn’t be a shock, but it’s not what they were expecting”
Jackie Sosnowski – “Although 3D printing is typically male-dominated, my challenge has been based on age rather than gender”
Natalie Rudolph – “Every successful technology moves 3D printing one step closer to our common goals of changing the manufacturing industry”
Brenna McCornac – “It is exciting to see a manufacturing field where women get in on the ground floor and pave the way for the gap of women in STEM to be closed”
