A lot of the pictures and shots from Maker Faire last weekend hit the cutting room floor, but we wanted to share them with you to give you a feel for the environment. Saturday and Sunday were two action-packed days as you can see. Read the rest of the post to find out who else made MakerBot a part of their booth in order to show off their own technology or just the joy of Making.

What do you mean anything?!

Another question from Maker Faire from a family was – “What materials can you build using a MakerBot?”  I told them there was no limit to what they could create with a MakerBot.  While the most obvious use was with plastic, a MakerBot can help you create nearly anything you want out of nearly any kind of material.

Want gold, silver, copper, bronze, or any other metal?  Use the lost-wax casting technique for an amazing result.  How about frosting, chocolate, jell-o, wax, or ice?  Need an ink stamp, wax stamp, embossing stamp, cookie cutter, or stencil?

What’s that?  You just have to MakerBot a vegetable?  Yeah, you can even do that too.

This is what it’s like to live in the future.

People write us and ask us to explain why our community is so special. It’s because there are thousands and thousands of people out there who own MakerBots and use them to do things, and then they bring them to events like Maker Faire and teach others. That community is invaluable.

And in the case of Schuyler St. Leger, it’s just…awesome. We’re so proud of you, Schuyler, for being a great kid and a patient teacher. Here’s an interview Schuyler gave to PandoDaily this weekend during Education Day at Maker Faire, and a picture below the video of Schuyler and his MakerBot Awesome Award.

Omg. @bre is here at #TCDisrupt I am about to revert to a screaming 12 yr old girl.
