Jon Kalish digs deep into the history and motivation behind the development of the amazing Ultimaker 3D printer in a new Make magazine article. Ultimaker, created by Erik De Bruijn and Martijn Elserman, was an attempt to create a better 3D printer based on the RepRap model – but they soon discovered they could start a real business with their invention. We think Ultimaker is but one of several innovative ventures poking at the edge of possibilities in the 3D printing space. With all this activity, we’re certain to see some truly amazing devices emerge over the next few years.
