3D Printing Will Change Everything

3D printing has the ability to revolutionize the way we
make practically everything, from guns to pastries and everything
in between. Reason TV recently had the opportunity to
attend Inside 3D
Printing Conference and Expo, a 3-day event
held in New York City.

There they met up with trailblazers in the 3D industry who
were able to give them the inside-scoop on how 3D printing will
revolutionize the economy.

On April 4, 2014, Reason TV attended the Inside 3D
Printing Conference and Expo, a three-day event held at the
Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City.
There we caught up with:

• Hod Lipson, an
  engineering professor at Cornell University, who compared the
  excitement swirling around the 3D printing industry to what it felt
  like to work in the computer industry in the 1970s.

• Brian Quan, the president of X-Object, who predicted that 3D
  printing will transform everything from toys to screwdrivers by
  making possible a “new organic creation process.”

• Aleph Objects‘
  Harris Kenny (a former Reason Foundation policy analyst),
  who discussed the power of open source design and how 3D printing
  is allowing scientists to create cheap prosthetics and lab
  equipment.

• Liz von Hasseln, the creative director of food products
  at 3D
  Systems, who demonstrated the new Chef Jet, which is the first 3D
  printer for pastry chefs.

• Scott McGowan of Solid Concepts, which created
  the first 3D-printed
  metal gun.
