Cover Story<br />

Initiated in 1980s from a flawed machine, the <strong>3D</strong><br />

printing technology now creates anything that one<br />

has in mind. It is one of the most rapidly thriving<br />

technologies, which can produce highly complex<br />

products for almost every industry. What started as an<br />

instrument for research and development, has flourished<br />

into a crucial business tool today.<br />

The applications of <strong>3D</strong> printing are innumerable and<br />

there are limitless possibilities for creating splendid and<br />

highly accurate <strong>3D</strong> printed products and art pieces.<br />

However, contiguous to the evolving printing<br />

technology, equivalent efforts are required for the<br />

development and the selection of material being used for<br />

printing. The material with right properties must be<br />

selected in order to ensure print process quality along<br />

<br />

with minimized environmental impact. Terrafilum<br />

Engineered Filaments is a company that was<br />

established with a goal to offer the users with highest<br />

quality eco-friendly filament solutions satisfying all of<br />

their printing needs.<br />

Incepted with a Selfless Approach<br />

<br />

Though Chris Jackson, the Founder of Terrafilum<br />

Engineered Filaments, started the firm with a thought to<br />

help people in solving problems with his material<br />

knowledge, there is much more interesting story behind<br />

Chris was born with a physical disability that affected his<br />

ability to utilize his forearm and hands, but he has never<br />

considered this as a limitation, in fact, he had that spark<br />

to try and do everything that everybody does. He<br />

believed that with the power of honesty, optimism,<br />

planning and energy; one could do anything and conquer<br />

any problem. Today, with his extreme efforts and<br />

perseverance, he has become a skilled coach, mentor and<br />

business leader with over 30 years of experience as a<br />

Chemical Engineer. Throughout his professional journey,<br />

Chris has worked in diverse fields such as Chemicals,<br />

Plastics, Healthcare and Custom Manufacturing.<br />

Along with business and manufacturing, this determined<br />

leader has tremendous passion for golf. He has always<br />

held his golf clubs in a distinctive way by anchoring it<br />

around his right arm. The uses of standard clubs limited<br />

his ability and forced him to fashion a new design for his<br />

grip. Working with a major golf equipment supplier, he<br />

realized that he was not alone with this struggle. He<br />

developed a prototype by working for hours with an<br />

Together we will take<br />

<strong>3D</strong> printing forward<br />

into a waste-free future<br />

where anything can<br />

be printed without any<br />

harm to Mother Earth.
