  • Watery Ketchup? No Problem, There’s a 3D-Printed Solution!

    Innovation

    04.30.2014 | |

    Sometimes, you just need to let creative minds be creative. These two Missouri high school students haven’t made an appearance on Shark Tank yet, but something tells me we’ll be seeing them soon.

    Demonstrating that the advent of 3D printing can be applied to just about anything, Jonathan Thompson and Tyler Richards have created a replacement cap for ordinary ketchup bottles that prevents all water from spilling out, ensuring a perfect squirt EVERY SINGLE TIME. They’re working on getting a provisional patent on the much-needed doohickey, but don’t be surprised to see it on store shelves in the very near future.

    It may sound trite, but this kind of innovation is what’s great about America. You can invent the next mode of transportation…or the next piece of plastic. You’re only limited by your own ideas. Everyone has a chance at becoming the next millionaire entrepreneur, and sometimes, it can be achieved with the quirkiest inventions imaginable.
