Itamar Yona

My name is Itamar Yona from Aviv3D which is located in Israel. I'm an electrical engineer and the third generation in my family business of 2D printing, marketing and publishing in Israel. In 1951, my grandfather opened the first printing house in Ness-Ziona which, for the uninitiated, is not the sexiest place in Israel but a little like Palo-Alto. My grandfather started with 2 letter press machines and one wooden chair for his Turkish coffee breaks. Over the years his shop grew into a factory and my father joined the family business. The letter press machines were replaced by offset and digital ones. My father took over from my grandfather and I subsequently joined the family business after having graduated in engineering. Then, I discovered the 3D Printing, in other words Additive manufacturing.
