The stories behind Layer By Layer

• The Key Change Behind 'Layer By Layer' — Liner notes on the anime-opening energy built to score a hospital's basement 3D printer.
• Layer By Layer: The Hospital That Builds Its Own Parts — A hyper-bright anime-opening anthem for point-of-care 3D printing, and the rulebook that hasn't caught up to it yet.

Lyrics

Layer by layer, layer by layer, we build

the light

Basement printer humming through the night shift

Plastic dust like snow across the desk

We don't wait for the catalog to answer

We designed the part and printed ourselves

Layer by layer we, we rise

Turning the basement into a factory of late

Layer by layer we, we rise

The hospital learns to build its own tomorrow tonight

A tiny model of the heart we're fixing

Held in a surgeon's hand before the cut

printed at midnight ready by morning nobody waits on a truck

layer by layer we we rise turning the

basement into a factory of light layer by layer we we

rise the hospital learns to build its own tomorrow tonight

nobody's sure yet whose

rulebook This falls in

Maker or hospital No one's decided

So we print Anyway, careful and grinning

One careful layer at a time

Layer by layer, we, we rise

Turning the basement into a factory of a life

Layer by layer, we, we rise

The hospital learns to build its own tomorrow tonight

Layer by layer

Rise Bye!
