Neil Gershenfeld Biography

Neil Gershenfeld is one of the most popular and richest Professor who was born on December 1, 1959 in Ardmore, United States.

In 1998, Gershenfeld started a class at MIT called “How to make (almost) anything”. Gershenfeld wanted to introduce expensive, industrial-size machines to the technical students. However, this class attracted a lot of students from various backgrounds: artists, architects, designers, students without any technical background. In his interview to CNN, Gershenfeld said that “the students… were answering a question I didn’t ask, which is: What is this stuff good for? And the answer is: Not to make what you can buy in stores, but to make what you can’t buy in stores. It’s to personalise fabrication”. Gershenfeld believes that this is the beginning of a new revolution: digital revolution in fabrication that will allow people to fabricate things, machines on demand.

Gershenfeld has presented his course on “How to make (almost) anything” at the Association of Professional Model Makers (APMM) 2010 Conference.
