3D printers have only been around for about 25 years and were started mostly by New Hampshire business owners. You know the names. Robert Howard, owner of Centronics Corporation in Hudson started an Inkjet company called Howtek, Inc in 1985. Another great in the field was Royden Sanders of Sanders, Nashua founded a printing company named Sanders Prototype, Inc in the late 1980’s. Sanders formed the sister company, Solidscape, Inc in Merrimack, NH which is owned by Stratasys, Inc. It and 3D Systems, VA both use the patent from former Howtek, Inc employee, Richard Helinski.
I worked for all of these companies except 3D Systems and have collected printers from Howtek, Sanders and Solidscape. I also have the original prototype made to prove the patent owned by Helinski. I own an assortment of many other things related to this inkjet technology and wanted to bring it to life in a museum. I sell and service these inkjet printers now in my small business.
My question to you is ‘is this side of printing, part of your idea for the Brooklyn Museum”?
