Gardner Publications Announces Additive Manufacturing Publication
Our good friends at Gardner Publications, recently announced their new Additive Manufacturing publication. This is very cool!
I was at a Sun Microsystems reunion a few weeks ago ( I worked there for 23 years) and the most popular question I got was, "Dave, is this stuff I am seeing on 3D printing and additive REAL?" There is so much excitement out there right now around additive it is just amazing. The open source aspect of additive is particularly exciting and reminds me of the early computer industry when PCs started to take off. Additive will open up manufacturing to the masses.
It is great news that the industry thought leaders at Gardner Publications are doing this. I know it will be absolutely first class!
