The first inductee into the TCT Hall of Fame is one of the industry's most recognisable and well-liked figures.
In the mid-80s, when garage inventor, Scott Crump first showed his wife a rough looking object he'd manufactured by melting a thermoplastic through a plotting device, which then dried as it deposited layer on top of layer, one would doubt that they thought there'd be over 1,000 similarly made objects on passenger jets.
But that's the remarkable story of fused deposition modelling (FDM), which is the got to technology when you ask a layman if they've seen 3D printing.
Scott Crump and his wife launched Stratasys in 1989 and the legacy continues to endure. He's a worthy first inductee into the TCT Hall of Fame
