Carl Bass of Autodesk: Keynote at MakerCon 2014
“MakerCon 2014: Carl Bass, the president and chief executive officer of Autodesk, announced their first venture into digital fabrication hardware, the yet-to-be-named Autodesk 3D Printer’. In addition, they have also created Spark, a open (but not open source) 3D printing platform that will ‘serve as a reference implementation for Spark’ and ‘demonstrate the power of the Spark platform’”
