Maker Spotlight: Garry Bartsch
Garry Bartsch is an inventor like his father before him. “That’s in my blood, I guess. I’ve always liked drawing things, and I’ve always liked designing things, and it’s been a hobby — it’s enjoyable, but it’s also useful to me.”
As a C5-C6 quadriplegic, 3D printing gives Garry an avenue to create.
