Startups Reality vs. Fantasy? Watch Print The Legend Movie on 3D Printing | Startup Revolution | Scoop.it

Print The Legend
Fascinating film about the beginning of a BIG THING (3D Printing) this film accurately describes what its like to be a startup in a hot space. Frustrating, magical and crazy all at once the movie will ring true for anyone whose started anything with OPM (Other People's Money).

Couple of cool trends in the movie include:

* Open source MakerBot becomes closed and gets bought.
* Closed and highly proprietary Avi Reichental does a RETHINK on his company's IP strategy and becomes more open.
* 3D printing remains in search of its "killer app".

That last bullet is also interesting. There is speculation that a printed plastic gun could become the "killer app" until the government steps in. In reality the killer app is problem going to be medical or healthcare related and is three to five years off.

Great window into startup land and 3D printing.
