Zimple: 3D Printing without Toxic Emissions

Nicolas and Antoine of “Zimple” launched their Kickstarter campaign earlier this year for a 3D printer filtration system that helps to significantly reduce the toxic emissions that are produced during printing. Their filtration system called the “Zimpure” is a device that could quickly become the ideal companion for 3D printers! So far, the company has raised €23,453. That’s €8,453 more than their goal of €15,000, with less than 2 days left for their campaign. This month, we decided to sit down with Nicolas and Antoine of Zimple to learn more about this innovative project.

3DN : Can you introduce Zimple to our readers?

We would be happy to! We are two guys who have been friends since high school, who were reunited while studying in Paris.

Antoine and Nicolas

My name is Nicolas and I’m a maker at heart. I like to create things and have enjoyed it since I was a little kid. When I stumbled upon printing and 3D design, it was like a return to my childhood. It is a real release for me! I like to create projects that combine electronics and mechanics. It also allows me to apply what I learned during my engineering studies in embedded systems.

My name is Antoine and it was only recently that I discovered 3D printing. I was immediately fascinated by the technology and the many ways you can apply it! At the same time, I have always been passionate about entrepreneurship and web development. My studies brought me to Data Science, which goes perfectly with Nicolas’ educational background.

We both realized that desktop 3D printers have many weaknesses and difficulties in use and implementation that manufacturers don’t usually anticipate. With Zimple, we wanted to provide users with innovative and effective solutions to the various problems that users encounter when using a 3D printer.
