From sci-fi dreams to homegrown creations, 3D printing is reshaping how we make, create, and innovate. In this lively and hands-on presentation, Jeff LeBlanc—co-owner of Windy Ridge Makers—takes us on a journey through the past, present, and future of 3D printing. You'll learn how the technology evolved, discover its wide-ranging applications in today’s world, and get a glimpse of what might be possible in the years ahead. Jeff will also showcase some of the incredible things he's printed right at home—including a fully wearable Iron Man suit (yes, really!). Whether you’re a maker, a tech enthusiast, or just curious about the world of 3D printing, this session is guaranteed to inspire.

Jeff LeBlanc is the co-owner of Windy Ridge Makers, based in Loudon, NH. With a background in software engineering, Jeff dove into the world of 3D printing in 2017—and never looked back. What started with curiosity soon escalated into full-blown innovation. Today, Jeff blends technology, art, and imagination to explore the endless possibilities of 3D printing, sharing his passion with makers of all ages.
