TCT Hall of Fame | Charles "Chuck" Hull | Inventor of Sterolithography and Founder of 3D Systems

By many measures, our next inductee to the TCT Hall of Fame can rightly call himself the ‘father of 3D printing’ — his patent for stereolithography is one of the earliest recorded for the technologies as we recognise them today.

The company he founded, 3D Systems, has been at the forefront of additive technologies since 1986. Still an active leader and inventor within 3D Systems, Chuck Hull continues to impact the industry he was instrumental in creating.

What Chuck started as a quicker way to prototype has grown into a technology commonplace on satellites, aircraft, automobiles and more.

Unfortunately, Chuck couldn’t be with us on the evening of the TCT Awards, but he did send us a short video.
