If you have not heard the name Chuck Hull recently, you may have been living under a rock. Hull is the inventor of 3D printing, and the founder of 3D Systems. It has been 31 years since his invention took place, and finally he is getting the applause that he deserved. On May 21st Hull will be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
