Courtney Duffy, PK’s Robert W. Deutsch Arts & Technology Fellow, spearheaded the 5th annual 3D/DC 2016, the premier 3D printing policy event in the nation. The event took place on Capitol Hill over the course of April 13 and 14. You can check out social media posts from the event using #3DDC2016, and follow Courtney Duffy on Twitter at @cduffy90. Here is a recap of the event.

It is hard to believe we are just a few days away from 3D/DC! My final interview for this series is with Teresa Sappington, Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellow. Teresa is a high school engineering teacher from Lamar County Center for Technical Education in Purvis, MS. She is sponsored by the Department of Energy’s Office of Science and has served as a Congressional Fellow on Capitol Hill with Congressman Mark Takano’s office since the fall of 2015.

Enable Community Foundation (ECF), an internet-based organization, is reimagining what it means to “do good” in the digital age. ECF and its affiliate project, Enable International Haiti (EIH) will be joining Tikkun Olam Makers (TOM) for a lunchtime panel at this year’s 3D/DC on Thursday, April 14. You should come.

Last week we published a Q&A with 3D/DC founder and Shapeways General Counsel Michael Weinberg. This week we’re back with a Q&A from another of our valued event sponsors: Source3. We sat down with founder and CEO Patrick Sullivan. Follow Source3 on Twitter and be sure to tweet about this year’s event using #3DDC2016.
