2. Getting practical Tweet: @eliasmeer

..Not the croaking, but the flying of the mallard, does a flock of ducks fly and follow.. -Chinese proverb

Networking, inspiring people and 3Dprinting:

Answering the question thateverybody asked me…

What it is?! (for me)

Target audience:Anyone who is interested.(zero skills required)

2. Getting practical

Using the book as starting point to get 3D-printing orders

Finding “General Public”:- regular media - social media- magazines

GenericTechSocial/GreenCreative sector

- presentations

3. Finding customers

Fact #1:

There are many groups already searching for solutions..

Examples:Fisher-clubsCreative magazinesDoll HousesCreate your own FashionGardening Etc…

3. Finding customers

Fact #2:

There are many groups already quite far in the technology!

Examples:RC/ModelingCar-fanatics

(some clubs have their own CAD-courses..)

Feeling that we've been here before..

Looking back in the 90-ties: the Internet.Seems that we're starting the adaption again.

Very high potential... look at the @DDW13

(solutions never before imagined)

Bonus:+ infrastructure+ social / community+ technology

4. Starting again

Current situation (2013-Q4)

- many undiscovered groups are quite far with 3D-printing (hobby related - spreading!)

- more content is added every day

- 3D-tooling gets easier

- many areas are affected (fashion, tech, hobby, DIY, food, new business, ...)

- economical situation “invites” innovation

- potentially big shift expected. (retail / logistics) (disruptive?)

Enrico Dini: (2013)"Stampare in 3D. Mai la distanza fra Pensare e Fare e' stata tanto breve.“

(never before was the distance between thinking and doing this small)

Breaking through now…

Next steps…Getting the Kill App for 3D-printing.Let the Crowd will discover what the most popular application will be.Let's get the Crowd close to 3D-printing.

We are now riding the wave of 3D-printingAn easy manual is now available.

We are waiting for the spark.
