The Last Inventor
Chuck Hull, the Invention of 3D Printing and His Quest to Benefit Humanity
The Last Inventor is the incredible true story of Charles “Chuck” Hull, the inventor of 3D printing and recognized by Forbes as one of the Top 100 Greatest American Inventors. Born in a 400-square-foot home in rural western Colorado, Chuck embodies the American dream. His 3D printing invention revolutionized industries around the world, from the way cars are made to the way surgeons operate. Chuck is “to 3D printing what Thomas Edison was to electric light,” says Martine Rothblatt, the founder of SiriusXM Radio and United Therapeutics. At 87, he’s working on his most important innovation yet: the 3D-printed human lung.
