Here are all the details: We'll have seven stages this year that will host a huge variety of talks. Debuting this year is the Make: 3D Printing Stage to give you 3D printing enthusiasts all you need to know about the latest and greatest in digital fabrication, materials, and making. The program covers emerging technologies, how to roast your own coffee, the latest in 3D printing and Arduino, puppet-making the open source way, medical advancements thanks to making, embracing and building on kids' desire to make, and everything in between.
