Formlabs, a company based out of Cambridge, Massachusetts, has designed affordable 3D printers for personal or professional fabrication. The stereo-lithography printer is called FORM 1 and uses a laser to draw upon liquid plastic resin, which hardens it layer by layer until a 3D model is created.
Joseph Morris talks about 3D printing technology, as well as how he resets himself to be creative at the gym. Morris is a video editor and a social media intern at Trend Hunter during the fall and winter from 2012-13.
