What is Tinkerine
TInkerine was founded by Eugene Suyu and Justin Sy. (Tinkerine, n.d.) The idea to create a 3D printing company came from Suyu's experience both using a machine as a student, and the subsequent difficulty experienced when he purchased his first machine. With the goal of improving the ownership of 3D printers Tinkerine was born. (Waddell, 2014)
Since the launch of their first product in 2012, Tinkerine has managed to win awards in the "Suprise Hit", "Best Value", and "Best Documentation" categories from Make magazine. (Anderson, 2014)
