Tonight’s guests are James Lindberg and Derrick Cullen from Forge Studio 3D.  We met them at Boston Comic Con, where they scanned Kriana (see pictures above). Forge Studio is the first 3D printing studio that’s open to the public, so you can stop by their shop anytime to see how the 3D printing process works. They also plan to offer education, teaching customers the basic care and feeding of 3D printers. They told us about a few of the really cool applications for 3D printing they’ve seen so far, like chocolate molds, wedding cake toppers, and action figures OF YOURSELF. Check them out at their store, or find them at Rhode Island Comic Con in November!
