From Restoring Cars to Helping Veterans
She’s a Milwaukeean who’s had a passion for tinkering since her dad gifted her a car when she was four years old. That led her to additive manufacturing, where she can produce parts faster than you can say “1960 Plymouth Fury Convertible.”

Limitless Possibilities
See the problem, think of the solution, then print it out. 100 years ago, it would’ve been called magic. Today it’s called additive manufacturing.
“We live in a society where we want fast results, and additive manufacturing can bring that to you.”
No Two Days Alike
While Katie sleeps at night, her printers are bringing her ideas to life. When she returns to work in the morning, she is greeted by a brand new, life-changing medical device for veterans.

Printing Bones
For most of history, bones came from the ground. Today, Katie is printing them in her lab.
Anyone can do it
Nowadays, many libraries have 3D printers that you can use. And while you wait for your idea to print, you could even pick up a book or two.

Faster Results and More Innovation
Katie thinks that one day, 3D printers will be in everyone’s home. Could maintaining your 3D printer become a new household chore for kids?
