We reached out to a handful of 3D printing pioneers and designers featured on the Adafruit blog this past year for their thoughts on the year-in-review — and what we have to look forward to for 3D printing in 2014!

Noé and Pedro Ruiz are the creative brother’s behind the design studio, Pixil 3D. Residing in South Florida, the two brothers are designers who setup shop at home in West Palm Beach Florida. Traditionally a designer and video editor, the brothers have always had a passion to make really cool stuff. 3D Printing allows the two brothers to fabricate their ideas into physical products.

Q: What are you most looking forward to for 3D Printing in 2014?

For 2014, we’re looking toward 3d printing solderless circuits. The conductive abs filament could make a great material for upcoming projects!
