I recently learned from looking at Lynn Haller’s article in Entrepreneur Magazine  about the Chicago based organization called the 3D Printer Experience. Since the American Library Association is also based in Chicago and there is every reason to believe that 3D printing will play a role in the future of libraries, librarians should take notice of the 3D Printer Experience. They do every thing from manufacturing to design to educating to holding events. Their 3D Printing Happy Hour certainly caught my attention!

I love one of the lines in the mission statement, “The 3D Printer Experience exists to foster public awareness of new and emerging technologies, and to help navigate the boundless future.”

Librarians should take a look at the 3D Printer Experience Blog and see what founder Julie Friedman Steele has to say about the organization.
