New York, May 6, 2014: The father of 3D printing says it’s overhyped – Shepard Fox promotes nomination of Charles Hull for the European Inventor Award by interviews with US media

3D printing “has the potential to revolutionize the way we do almost everything”, US president Barack Obama declared at the 2013 State of the Union. Maybe – but in an interview arranged by Shepard Fox with US digital news magazine Quartz, the father of 3D printing Charles Hull, after he was nominated for the European Inventor Award by the European Patent Office (he’s up against the inventors of the QR code), said that “some people who talk about 3D printing get over-enthused. Most of the stuff they talk about will happen someday, but you need to understand that it’s in concert with other advances in automation and computing and so forth.”
