Testimonials
“Having Jason as our keynote speaker was an absolute game-changer for our event. From the moment he took the stage, it was clear we were in for something special. Their passion for 3D printing in the entertainment and film world came through in every story he shared—from building intricate props to transforming how sets come to life. What really stood out was how approachable and engaging he was. He didn’t just talk at the audience—he connected with them, inspired them, and sparked real curiosity about what’s possible when creativity meets cutting-edge technology. I walked away with a new appreciation for the craft, and I know many others did too. We feel lucky to have had Jason with us.”

— MIKE LITTRELL PRESIDENT CIDEAS
“I first had the privilege to meet Jason Lopes at the 2011 Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) conference. From the first minute that we met I knew that Jason was a real special person in the world of AM and 3D Printing. Jason’s first presentation was a :30 minute one to a packed conference room with standing room only and I’m talking spilling out into the hallway. Jason’s knowledge and expertise have made him one of the most sot-after presenters in the AM Industry. Since the first AMUG conference that Jason attended, he has keynoted all three years to a packed General session. Jason was awarded the AMUG “DINO” Distinguished Innovator Operator Award in 2012 for his willingness to participate and to give back to the industry that he so loves. I am proud to call Jason my friend.”

“I’ve had the pleasure of listening to Jason at six events that spanned the globe. I enjoy his style, stories and content; as do all that sit in for one of his presentations. I can tell the latter because Jason is always mobbed when he steps off of the stage. In each and every presentation, his passion for and expertise in 3D printing were clear.”
