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”
Eliana Fu – “Additive Manufacturing is changing the way we want to think about manufacturing launch vehicles for space exploration and overturning the way we design parts, increasing the speed of iterative development and reducing waste”
Melanie Lang – “By leveraging additive manufacturing, I realized we could eliminate some limitations I had learned over the years regarding design and materials, and that’s when I dove in and altered my path towards 3D printing”
Deirdre MacCormack – “The importance of prototyping to the product development cycle cannot be overstated, and 3D printing right now presents an invaluable tool for speeding the time to market. It is the foundational cornerstone of the AM industry”
Magalie Steinmetz & Pascale Chabal – “Entrepreneurship allowed me to reveal myself in different fields, like commercial and leadership” – “I’m a creative woman and 3D printing offer lots of creative project”
Chloe Kow – “Due to this learning curve, we haven’t seen the true untapped potential of metal 3D printing just yet”
Melissa Ng – “I gave myself a time limit of three months to learn how to 3D model and 3D print something and whether or not it was worth pursuing”
Sarah Boisvert – “It is much easier now to work in digital fabrication technology than it was 30 years ago. At least now there ARE other women in additive!”
Dominique Mueller – “3D printing today is a very powerful tool but using it in the right way is still difficult”
Kim Thoman – “Many artists running art departments stick with their own medium and don’t branch out. For the students to learn new technologies, outside support is needed”
Malika Khodja – “it is important to show local manufacturing industry the advantages of metal 3D printing and where it can be used to give them a competitive advantage”
Laurence Berthoud-Lafarge – “Manufacturing will have to adapt to technical changes, pollution problems related to transport, waste caused by overproduction”
Laura Gilmour – “It’s now an industry I’m passionate about because of the promise it has for improving medicine and medical devices for years to come”
