Andre Tiemann | Guest Writer
Andre is obsessed with all things 3D printing.
A long ago Psychology student, who in time wanted to be a writer before deciding to pursue book-publishing may not fit the profile of a 3D printer enthusiast. But over the last year and change - while dutiful employed in Production at a print service shop—he has built two RepRap Prusa Mendels (and now can't get enough of his Makerbot Replicator).
From there, he has participated in workshops and given talks at Toronto's HackLab and Site3, networked with like-minded individuals and is working on a viable business strategy centered around the emerging consumer 3D Printer market.
Andre is founder of www.draftprint3d.com.
