# 3D Printing the Big Apple with TEDx

February 10, 2012

Last week, TEDx took a bite out of the Big Apple with a fascinating discussion about “[Disruptive Ideas with Near-term Impact.](http://tedxbigapple.com/)” The speakers shared ideas that are likely to “change the world in the near-term, instead of those whose impact is in the past or the distant future.”

Pratt Professor and Shapeways community member [Henry Yoo](http://www.pratt.edu/academics/art_design/art_grad/industrial_design_grad/faculty_and_staff/bio/?id=hyoo968) created a beautiful TEDx apple for the event. We 3D printed a bushel of them to ensure everyone could walk away with a disruptive idea in their hands.
