The Budmens are inventors, designers, chefs, entreprenuers and life long learners. They are co-owners of Budmen Industries, manufacturer of the award-winning Buildini 3D printer. During the COVID-19 PPE Shortage they led a global grassroots manufacturing revolution to 3D print over 3.3 million Budmen face shields.

They have been invited to lecture at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Harvard University, New York University, George Mason University, SxSW, Haystack Mountain School, American Institute of Graphic Arts, and other venues. Their pioneering work in digital fabrication has been featured in or on CNN, Fox News, CBS, NBC, ABC News, The New Yorker, Wired, Forbes, Fortune, The Smithsonian, The Verge, The Hollywood Reporter, People Magazine, and other publications.
