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”
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”
