🔵 Congratulations to Charles Hull for his election to the National Academy of Engineering! 🔵 👏 Charles Hull is the father of 3D printing and the founder of 3D Systems Corporation, the leader in Additive Manufacturing, with whom we are proud to have partnered for many years. 🚀 Thank you Chuck for bringing innovation to life that continues to transform the world of 3D printing!
3D Systems is pleased to announce Charles Hull, our co-founder and chief technology officer for regenerative medicine, has been elected to the National Academy of Engineering (NAE). Chuck pioneered the development of 3D printing, with his work on fusing UV resins into 3D structures for prototyping leading to the creation of the first 3D-printed part in 1983 using Stereolithography (SLA). He patented this technology and subsequently co-founded 3D Systems in 1986, launching the first commercial 3D printer, the SLA-1, and thus establishing the 3D printing industry. "It is humbling to be elected to this academy of distinguished engineers,” said Mr. Hull. “I'm honored and excited to serve and work alongside such outstanding professionals to advance the positive impact engineering has on our world." Please join us in congratulating Chuck Hull on this achievement. Learn more in the full press release: https://lnkd.in/gJf-CWqv
