Why I Love My 3D Printer
On Friday, February 11th, a young inventor named Schuyler, age 10, stepped on to the stage in front of a sold out crowd of 850 people at Ignite Phoenix and proceeded to explain why he loves his 3D printer, a MakerBot.
The delivery is perfect. He gave shoutouts to Thingiverse, the RepRap community and his local hackerspace heatsynclabs. Most importantly, he explained 3D printing in a clear and understandable way that any other 10 year old, or parent of a 10 year old, can understand.
Our mission at MakerBot is to Democratize Manufacturing and empowering young people with technology is baked into the DNA of MakerBot. Seeing MakerBot presented at Ignite in such a great way by such a great young person is super awesome! A huge congrats to Schuyler! So great!

Looks like a new Makerbot Operator age record! I thought I had the record being 13.
well I’m glad that even younger kids are getting in the CNC 3d Printing. Hey Bre, will MBI be at Makerfaire Bay Area?

I salute this man’s awesomeness. He deserves a shrine in his honor.
Hey Caleb, saw the post on you a few weeks back. Guess what? I am 16! (Started printing at 15). High five for the new generation!

He was at a tour of one of our new labs at ASU yesterday, he was asking better questions than the potential donors were. He and his dad were really curious to see if they could get an educational version of Autocad or Solidworks since he has reached the limits of what Sketchup can handle. We gave him some information on the Autocad educational option that he was pretty happy about.
Expect him to be giving a presentation about an even more sophisticated 3d printer in a few more years once he hits the limits of what a makerbot can handle.
