Michaella Janse van Vuuren – “I believe an arts approach to fourth Industrial education in developing countries can make a revolutionary difference”
Mayra Vasques -“To achieve the best potential for 3D printing in dentistry, the key is the development and improvement of materials for intraoral use”
Godwyn Morris -“Just as I had with all my other ventures, I taught myself by watching and learning from others”
Swati Suman -“The immediate challenge newcomers face with 3D printing technology is distinguishing between the different processes and materials available”
Elizabeth C. Engele -“The process of going from nothing to a CAD model to having an item in the palm of one’s hands teaches patience and resilience, which contains so many more life lessons than simply learning about a finished product”
Kim Francois -“The Chinese market has really embraced Additive Manufacturing very quickly and we see continued growth in this area”
Anna Shcherbinina -“I think our nearest future we will be quite closely connected to hardware – more closely connected than we are right now”
Noel Olivia Maria – “It is necessary to coordinate activities to attract women to the world of additive manufacturing technology and empower them in the area of technology”
Haley Stump -“It’s one thing to look at a file on the screen and know it is going to be larger-than-life but it is entirely different to stand next to it once it is all done”
Dr. Ruchi Pathak Kaul -“3D Printing not only helps to replicate similar anatomy of the face, but also restores function and drastically improves the quality of life of patients in a very short period of time”
Petra Rees – “I realized that 3D printing can be the answer to so many questions I had… about being able to create, being flexible and agile, dealing with exponential technologies, minimizing any supply chain and logistics issues”
Rebecca Campbell -“I am in 3D printing because I love the idea of being part of changing the way others think, design and create to develop a better world”
July Aye – “Everyone is able to start on the same playing field. Unlike traditional engineering industries, there is a lower chance of intimidation or feeling like you do not belong”
Michaelyn Thomas -“Women in the aerospace industry are badass. Historically, this industry was male-dominated with minimal diversity. Women in the aerospace industry, especially at the senior leadership levels, possess an incredible amount of resiliency, grit, tenacity, and positivity”
Ranjani Ravikumar – “I have been mistaken for a male a few times; it is always fun to show that a woman can be an engineer, 3D printing or not”
Lindsay Baish – “We are all here because we see what’s on the horizon and want to be a part of this sea change”
Haleyanne Freedman – “It is very rewarding to see a team of engineers who you’ve trained and assisted that move parts into production because of the program you set up”
Karina Popovich – “3D-printing shows students the exciting and less daunting parts of engineering, and as it did for me, it can inspire them to pursue STEM”
Heidi Piili – “Generally, if there are any applications were, for example, better fluid dynamics or lightweight structures are needed, additive manufacturing is the solution”
Cheryl MacLeod – “3D printing was appealing to me because I love working at the cutting edge, creating entirely new categories of products and introducing innovative technology into the market”
Jo Sommers – “I rolled my sleeves up and started to experience all the pleasures (and of course the PAIN) that comes with learning anything new- especially 3D printing!”
