Hyrel 3D was there, we had a blast showing off our next-generation printer to the public for the first time. We just had a small booth way at the back of the 600 row, so I'm not really surprised that we didn't get a whole lot of press exposure. The enthusiasm for our System printers and the new 16A from the attendees made up for the lack of reporter traffic.

We also got to see a lot of really innovative things from our fellow small companies, I was mostly looking out for print material providers and other companies whose products could have good synergy with ours. I was very impressed by Polymaker's PVB material and their Polysher machine having seen them now in person. Also, nTopology's mesh generation software looks like it'll be big news in the next few months as well.

Our friends at Polar 3D also had a pair of prototype machines that revisited the old Thing-i-matic model of printing on a conveyor belt, but with a rather innovative twist.
