Q&As with Industry Innovators

Circuit Cellar Issue #323 June 2017

We've recently seen a lot of innovation in the 3-D printing industry. Numerous companies are now manufacturing affordable desktop 3-D printers. It's clear that 3-D printers are poised to become essential tools in every engineering workspace, university electronics lab, makerspace, and industrial design facility.

Nicolas Roux
Founder/CEO | Zimple

C. J.: Tell us about your background and technical interests.

NICOLAS: I am an embedded system engineer, with a background in electronics and mechanics. I fell in love with 3-D printing four years ago, and then I started to make some personal projects (RC cars, lights, toys). My cofounder, Antoine, is a data scientist student passionate by the internet.

C. J.: How did you get started with 3-D printing? A school project? A personal project?

NICOLAS: I started to work with 3-D printers four years ago, with a Prusa i3. Since my childhood, I have always loved making things. I have tried all the construction games! After my preparatory class, which is a two-year intensive program preparing you to pass the competitive examination for engineering school, I bought my first 3-D printer in order to restart making things, with my own ideas and designs. Being able to design, print, and try something I've got in my mind is a huge pleasure for me. Since I've tried it four years ago, I never stopped to make things!

C. J.: Your company Zimple's focus is "3-D printing without toxic emissions." What led you to this mission?
