Fred Knecht

Having owned a number of technical businesses and narrowly dodging a few brilliant inventions. Freddy has been “submerged” in countless complex software and electro-mechanical projects for over 30 years.

An extremely bizarre twist of events created a chance meeting with Mike Littrell in 2013. The two connected and Fred fell face first into the 3D Printing world by joining CIDEAS Inc. (this was a cosmic connection, as Mike would like to think). It was the perfect recipe for creation and there was no turning back.

Fred’s ability to think outside the box was instrumental in the creation and launch of the patent pending True-Quote software for CIDEAS Inc. (buildparts.com).

During this time, Fred took it upon himself to solve a common problem within vat based systems and after presenting it to Mike the game changed. The result is now WAV.

Fred is a true innovator and has changed AM forever.
