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 />

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.
