Filemon Schöffer

Filemon Schöffer (1985, Amsterdam) and his family have a long history in printing. Around 1450 Filemon’s ancestor, Peter Schöffer, made the family’s first move into the print business. Working as an engineer in Germany, he assisted Gutenberg with the development of the printing press. After a detour from the family in producing beer, which led to the infamous Schöfferhofer, Filemon thought the time was right to step back into modern 3D printing. Filemon has been a featured 3D printing author for several major technology outlets, including TechCrunch and VentureBeat, and co-authored and produced The 3D Printing Handbook: Technologies, design and applications.
