MONOCURE 3D - Key Persons
Who is Charlie Anderson? In a previous life, Charlie worked in the TV industry in Australia and abroad for over 20 years. He started working at Monocure 5 years ago, when his father, Alan, asked him to join the family industrial chemical business. A far cry from the TV directors chair, but he was ready for a new challenge!
Charlie's interest in 3D printing started by accident when he got an enquiry about a UV(Ultra Violet) curing resin for a new type of desktop 3D printer. He worked with Monocure's Research and Development team to create Australia's first UV curable 3D printer resin! Monocure 3D was born. Charlie got busy building an e-commerce website and creating interest in the new resin by using social media as a direct line to his customers. As the word spread and desktop 3D resin printers became more mainstream, Monocure 3D started to ramp up!
While working with his dedicated team, Charlie has been adding complementary products to the range and expanding into other areas of the 3D printing market. His involvement and interest in the 3D printing industry are robust, as he continues to help and support his customers. Charlie believes that the 3D printing industry is still in its infancy. Through support like beginners guides, white papers, articles, newsletters, school holiday courses and his new Youtube channel, ProTips, Charlie knows the importance of education. "If we can teach people how to use this technology today, the amount of industries that can benefit in the future is nearly limitless!" says Charlie.
Monocure 3D now enjoys a strong customer base locally and overseas with over 50 resellers worldwide. "The Australian market is growing as we Aussies love new technology! I know that every school, university & business will adopt 3D printing. Most households will have at least one 3D printer in the not too distant future!"
John's background is in development of both software and hardware within the computer & machining industry. In a previous life, John was an IT support manager for a major software development company for over 25 years. He has run his own business designing and building camera stabilization systems using his own CNC router, laser cutter and 3D printers (Grouse House Technologies). More recently, he has been using resin based 3D printers in conjunction with FDM printers to assist him with his projects. He has a considerable understanding of the technologies which go into all 3D printers.
