3D Printing Spotlight On: Carina Canoy, Founder, Peer2Tech http://ift.tt/2rUSqgh For the past two decades, Carina Canoy has worked as a project manager, the person responsible for successfully orchestrating the organization, risk management, and financial responsibilities, and information needs of any particular project. In 2012, while coordinating the production of a necessary plastic component that was an integral part of bringing a project to completion, she suggested to her client that they look to have the part 3D printed. The idea was completely new to her client and was instrumental in ensuring the success of the work they had been doing. It was then that she realized that while 3D printing held enormous potential, many companies simply didn’t understand how it could, or could not, be integrated into their workflow. Now, Canoy is embarking on a new phase in her professional life as she launches Peer2Tech, a platform for helping other companies understand whether or not 3D printing solutions might be right for them. We recently caught up with Canoy and were able to ask her some questions about what she is doing now and how she got there as part of our series highlighting women working with 3D printing. Can you tell me a little bit more about your background? Such as where you grew up, what you studied at school, and any interests you had that have helped you to develop your current business model?
What exactly does a project manager do?
And what was it that first attracted your attention to 3D printing?
What have you done to build up your expertise in the area of 3D printing for businesses?
What is your vision for Peer2Tech both in the immediate and long term?
What kinds of businesses do you think will benefit most from the services that you will be offering?
Do you have any advice for other women who are interested in getting more involved in 3D printing?
Canoy is launching her business this summer and we will be checking back with her in the fall to get an update on how things are unfolding. If you are interested in sharing your story, or know a woman we should get in touch with for this series, please reach out any time. Send us an email or connect on Twitter. We’re looking forward to sharing more stories about women in 3D printing. Find all the features in this series here.
