In a somewhat related note, I just finished watching Print the Legend (
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3557464/) for the first time last week on Netflix. It's a fascinating documentary on 3D printing—and for someone who hadn't been following the 3D printing industry, the twists and turns in the stories of the main players really surprised me. I highly recommend watching it if you haven't.
That said, it's certainly interesting to see this pop up in the news. I'm curious what the general 3D enthusiasts consider the front players in 3D printing right now?
