C-Span Co-Founder Goes 3D

Robert Titsch, pictured, a media businessman who co-founded C-SPAN back in the 1970s, has made the leap to the world of 3-D printing. He today runs the world’s largest 3-D printing trade show with his sons. Not bad for a guy who’s trying to retire and enjoy what has already been a lifetime of success. The 71-year-old currently lives in Hayden. “I think the industry has a future,” Titsch said. “It’s a little bit mixed-up right now, and it doesn’t really know what it is yet.” Still, he is looking for some big companies - like Hewlett-Packard - to invest more in the industry soon. Titsch spoke Wednesday night during a private reception hosted by Innovation Collective, prior to the group’s monthly Fireside Chat at The Cellar in Coeur d’Alene. More here.
