Bre Pettis: The Open Source Personal Fabrication Revolution.

Talk by Bre Pattis at re:publica 2010 in Berlin about "MakerBot: The Robot that Sharing Built - The Open Source Personal Fabrication Revolution."

"MakerBot Industries sells an affordable DIY 3D printer and are at the crossroads of open source web 2.0 culture and personalized
manufacturing. In this talk, Bre Pettis will map pathways through the shifting landscape of community based research and production. This talk will offer serious commentary on the opportunities for collaboration in manufacturing and include evocative stories and anecdotes about rapidly manufactured engagement rings, body part replication, news printed on toast, object teleportation over ip, and automated cupcake decoration. The take-away will be real-world examples that showcase the power of open systems and shared development in a manufacturing context."

You know those anti-piracy "ads" that say something like, "You wouldn't steal a car, would you?"

I always though the obvious response was, "No, but if I could download a car and print it out for free, I sure would!"

Looks like that day is getting pretty close.

@manilaenglish If abs were poison then every child in the world would die. Children put their legos in their mouth and more every day.

Forks, spoons would be safe, but a challenge due to issues with extrusion printing. Tho current innovations in auto-scaffolding are making it possible.

Plastic forks, spoons, safe? Or is abs plastic poison?

[manilaenglish]

So is that whistle safe to put in our children's mouths? That's what I want to know!
