3D Printers built in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Original airdate: 1/23/2019 | Mike Gorski grew up working on cars. "Since I was 4 years old my - honest to god - my father had me out in the garage changing oil, using wrenches, ratchets, screwdrivers, since I've been 4 years old, I've had something in my hand. Just fabrication," Gorski said. His life took him down a different path, leading him to get a PhD. in quantitative research, but eventually he wanted to get back to his passion for fabrication. "When I saw 3D printing and this idea of digital fabrication, my mind was just blown," Gorski said. That's why he left his lucrative corporate job and started Filament Innovations in 2015. They manufacture 3D printers. "I saw a need for 3D printers that were large scale, affordable, and built in America," Gorski said. Which is exactly what he's making in the restored barn behind his house in North Whitehall Township, Lehigh County. Printers run in the $10,000 to $13,000 range.
