As a student, he likes working with music equipment. He needs special parts for his projects. So, he decides to build his own 3D printer. His design becomes very popular. In 2012, he starts a company called Prusa Research in Prague. Today, the company sells printers all over the world and works with big organizations like NASA and Mercedes. Many small businesses also use his printers to make creative products.

Josef Průša believes that 3D printing can help more people create and build new things in Europe and beyond.
