If the gold rush, the green rush, fourteeners galore, and epic skiing, hiking, camping, and fishing had not already put the rugged state of Colorado on the map long ago, 3D printing might be a major consideration. This wonderful state I live in is home to some of the most active, fit people you will find in the US, but as everyone is busy running, mountain biking, mountain climbing, and far more, there’s also a lot of actual work—and innovation—going on behind the scenes too. From Loveland’s highly successful Aleph Objects and their LulzBot lineup of 3D printers to medical centers offering innovative treatments, plus research studies, education, and of course artistic inspiration, the state of Colorado seems to come up quite often in regards to 3D technology.
