Reflections from Alain Le Méhauté, The Real Father of 3D Printing

Alain Le Méhauté and two other French researchers submitted the patent application for the stereolithography printing process three weeks before American Chuck Hull. However, due to the inability of their employers to see the direct financial incentive, the patents were abandoned in favor of the American. Alexander Moussion, writer for a French 3D printing publication, sought out Le Méhauté to pay him homage and to hear his perspective on the developments in the field over the last 30 years. Check out some of his reflections on the technology in the full article: http://3dprint.com/65466/reflections-alain-le-mehaute/
