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”
Pooja Venkatesh – “3D bioprinting technology can be used to develop organ-on-a-chip, which integrates all the organs in a human body on a chip”
Kay Matin – “The AM industry is exactly where it should be, with lots of room for growth & improvement”
Katie Weimer – “The thing that keeps me driven each and every day is the fact that we utilize 3D printing to directly impact human beings”
April Staines – “I know and can fix things I probably shouldn’t need to know but guess who fixes the machines in my shop? Me”
Christina Guo – “92% of indie game companies want to sell 3D printed merchandise based on their games”
Eve Tan – “In my country, a majority of men would be surprised to see a woman in the 3D printing industry. We’ve proved them wrong. Haven’t we?”
Casey Kerrigan – “When I discovered that most footwear increases loads on the knee joint in the exact location where knee osteoarthritis occurs, I knew I had to develop better shoes”
Heidi Hostetter – “This isn’t just technology that’s happening. It’s history in the making!!!! Come make history with us”
Beatrice Müller – “One day it will be possible to print a sneaker of different materials including textile in one go”
Marylou Morat – “3D printing is a fantastic tool ! It redefines design rules and allows a new creativity”
Nicole Clement – “While rapid prototyping is clearly still the core application of 3D printing, more and more companies are willing and looking to integrate additive into their manufacturing lines”
Keri Wright – “Many are introducing carbon fiber into aerospace manufacturing, but not many have been successful in taking carbon fiber in aircraft and re-introducing it back to manufacturing”
