Neri Oxman Quotes

We're now able to 3D print in 200 different materials, from titanium to rubber, plastic, glass, ceramic, leathers, and even chocolate.

3D printing has digitized the entire manufacturing process.

3D printing is already shaking our age-old notions of what can and can't be made.

Startups are now creating specialized 3-D printers capable of producing everything from synthetic hamburgers to multi-story apartment buildings.

We have always moved with this approach of sharing and educating people with what they can unlock with 3D printing.

The next episode of 3D printing will involve printing entirely new kinds of materials. Eventually we will print complete products - circuits, motors, and batteries already included. At that point, all bets are off.

I'm an investor in MakerBot, which is a good example of the 'thingiverse'. The idea of applying collaboration and rapid iteration to things that we interact with and hold in our hands every day is super revolutionary.

Basically, any material you can squeeze, melt or generate into a powder, you can print.

We're on the brink of the next industrial revolution. Instead of buying things, you can make them on a printer. When you have a 3D printer, you can iterate more - what used to take months, now takes hours.

We wanted people to 3-D-print anything, not just more 3-D printers.

We started MakerBot in 2009 and made a conscious decision to educate people with the possibilities they could do with 3D printing and share with people what is possible.

You can go from creating the design on your iPad to making the object on your MakerBot.

I can imagine an automotive designer or an industrial designer building a product in 3D, all in real-time. That's the way a lot of people are going to work in the future.

If we could communicate at the speed of thought, we can augment our creativity with the low-level stuff that AI and robots and 3-D printers and fab labs and all that do.

How can we reinterpret 3-D printing in a way that suggests a new design language?

When people have a MakerBot, they have a different mindset from everybody else who grew up as a consumer. Instead of thinking, 'I need to go buy that,' they first think, 'Do I need to go buy that? I could just MakerBot that.'

3D printing will massively reduce the cost of certain products as the cost of labor is removed.

Creating life at the speed of light is part of a new industrial revolution. Manufacturing will shift from centralised factories to a distributed, domestic manufacturing future, thanks to the rise of 3D printer technology.

Even a small village in the middle of Africa with a 3D printer will have access to any good it can download. The world of the 'Star Trek' replicator is not far away.

Similar to computer technology in the '60s, 3-D printing is a universal technology that has the potential to revolutionize our life by enabling individuals to design and manufacture things.

Our intention is that people use MakerBots to have a positive impact on the world.

The opportunity ahead of us in terms of transforming how we design and build, how we manufacture, is even greater than some of the product innovation that we're going to bring to the table.

I think the designs and creativity are limitless with 3-D-printed clothing.

Craft meets the machine in rapid fabrication. We can generate craft with the help of technology.

I believe in the near future we will 3D print our buildings and houses.
