3D Printing Pioneer Still Enthusiastic 30 Years Later
Hans Langer, 36 at the time with two young children and just over $50,000 to his name, founded EOS, a 3D printer manufacturer. The year was 1989, and it was the dawn of the new printing technology. Although he saw the potential in the new cutting-edge technology, he knew he could lose big if things went the wrong way. It has indeed been a bumpy 30 years. But at 67 now-billionaire Langer is as enthusiastic as ever about 3D printers and their ability to significantly better today's technology and people's lives.
