About the author
Josef Prusa
(born Feb 23
rd
, 1990) became interested in the 3D printing phenomenon before
joining the Prague’s University of Economics in 2009 - at first it was a hobby, a new
technology open to changes and improvements. The hobby soon became a passion and
Josef grew into one of the leading developers of Adrien Bowyer’s international, open source,
RepRap project. Today, you can see the Prusa design in different versions all around the
world, it is one of the most popular printers and thanks to it, knowledge about the 3D printing
technology significantly increased among the public.
Jo’s work on self-replicating printers (you can print the other printer parts with your printer)
are still ongoing and currently, there is Prusa i3 - the third iteration of the original 3D printer.
It is constantly updated with the latest innovations and you've just purchased its latest
version. In addition to printer hardware upgrades, the main goal is to make the technology
more accessible and understandable to all users.
Josef Prusa also organizes workshops for the public, participates in professional
conferences dedicated to the popularization of 3D printing. For example, he lectured at the
TEDx conference in Prague and Vienna, at World Maker Faire in New York, Maker Faire in
Rome or at the Open Hardware Summit hosted by MIT. Josef also teaches Arduino at
Charles University and was also a lecturer at the Academy of Arts in Prague.
In his own words, he imagines 3D printers will be available in every home in a not too distant
future. “If anything is needed, you can simply print it. In this field, you just push the
boundaries every day... We're glad you're part of it with us!”
