Charles R. Goulding and Preeti Sulibhavi consider the 3D printing legacy of the late Gideon Gartner.
On December 12, 2020, Gideon Gartner who founded the Gartner Group and revolutionized technological research passed away at the age of 85. Gartner leveraged a background at IBM and leading Wall Street firms to create a world-renowned, hybrid tech-research, marketing and advertising firm with a particular focus on computer technology. Gartner had both undergraduate and graduate degrees from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Gartner personally embodied the scientific management theories of Fredrick Taylor and Frank Gilbreth. Taylor was focused on theories related to time, while Gilbreth’s specialty was more on motion. Frank Gilbreth and his wife, Lillian, were portrayed in the movie “Cheaper by the Dozen.” Gartner then created personal processes to fast shave with 12 razor strokes and take a shower in 10 seconds.
