Think all-nighters are just for college students? Think again. In conjunction with a 3D Printing showcase event in the Capital District area of New York, Albany, a 24-hour 3D Printathalon will be going on September 18, 19, & 20th. With $20 billion infused into regional schools from semi-conductor manufacturers, GE, and various public and private ventures, the Capital District is ripe to produce some of the next great advances in additive manufacturing. Colton Robtoy talks to us about the benefits of sponsorship by 3D Printing related companies and the excitement of participating in the 3D Printathalon, or just cheering on from the sidelines. As we have mentioned multiple times before on our Podcast, we have seen great benefit from participating in these regional events as both exhibitors/sponsors and as attendees. It is a great way to get exposure, make some connections and why not pull an all-nighter in the 3D Printathalon!
