I would like to ask if any Community Mayor has any problems trying to introduce 3D Printing to a sector with low income like rural areas. I want to make an event here where I live in the Caribbean but people see 3D Printing expensive and not reachable. Any advice?
I would have to say, our community is very much land locked and rural. There is not any problem getting peoples attention in the area, through events at libraries, art exhibits… any where there is a lot of foot traffic. The issue I run into is getting people past the simplicity of idea to part. That can be from rapid prototyping to limited manufacturing. As we move forward our efforts are going to be on showcasing some local success stories to help communicate the idea.
