Print the Legend is a 2014 documentary film and Netflix Original focused on the 3D printing revolution.[1] It delves into the growth of the 3D printing industry, with focus on companies MakerBot, Formlabs, Stratasys, and 3D Systems, as well as figures of controversy in the industry such as Cody Wilson.
The title of the film comes from the denouement of the film The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.[2]
Plot Summary
Print the Legend illustrates the 3D printing achievements of MakerBot, Formlabs, Stratasys, and 3D Systems, which is comparable to a revolutionized American Dream.
Although there is lack of 3D printing history information and Apple Inc (Steve Jobs) glorification, this Netflix documentary explores interestingly the pros (human organs, glasses, skull implant, footwear) and cons (Cody Wilson) of the growth of 3D printing.
On one hand, beyond Print the Legend demonstrates how stereolithography technology allows to print objects such as artificial organs, prosthetic hands, chess pieces; it also investigates the development of 3D printers for common people use as a normal home device.
On the other hand, the documentary intensifies concerns of 3D printing for the world as Cody Wilson, an American gun right activist, disregards gun control by 3D printing it through Defense Distributed. From his point of view, every American should be able to access a gun.[3]
