As 3D printers have gotten more affordable, an entirely new community has sprung up around the idea of designing, sharing and printing physical objects. Jarkko Moilanen of the Statistical Studies of Peer Production has completed the first EVER survey on the growing 3D printer community. Correction – the Journal of Peer Production is a separate group and not part of the Statistical Studies of Peer Production as stated in the video.

I create the above video to share some of the interesting facts revealed in the survey. The survey data itself is freely available on their website.

If you consider yourself part of the 3D printer community or are curious to learn more, check out the short video.
