Question: Information: - Chuck Hull (Charles W. Hull; born May 12, 1939) is the co-founder, executive vice president and chief technology officer of 3D Systems. He is the inventor of the solid imaging process known as stereolithography (3D Printing), the first commercial rapid prototyping technology, and the STL file format. He is named on more than 60 U.S. patents as well as other patents around the world in the fields of ion optics and rapid prototyping. He was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2014. - Z Corporation ( commonly abbreviated Z Corp. ) was acquired by 3D Systems on January 3 , 2012 . ZPrinting relates to the z axis which adds depth to the other 2 axes x , y as does 3D printing . In 1993 , a new 3D printing technology , ZPrinting , was developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology . As in many other rapid prototyping processes , the part to be printed is built up from many thin cross sections of the 3D model . In ZPrinters , an inkjet - like printing head moves across a bed of powder , selectively depositing a liquid binding material in the shape of the section . A fresh layer of powder is spread across the top of the model , and the process is repeated . When the model is complete , unbound powder is automatically removed . Parts can be built on a ZPrinter at a rate of approximately 1 vertical inch per hour . - Rock Hill is the largest city in York County, South Carolina and the fifth-largest city in the state. It is also the fourth-largest city of the Charlotte metropolitan area, behind Charlotte, Concord, and Gastonia (all located in North Carolina, unlike Rock Hill). The population was 66,154 as of the 2010 Census. - 3D Systems, headquartered in Rock Hill, South Carolina, is a company that engineers, manufactures and sells 3D printers. Chuck Hull, currently the CTO and former president, invented stereolithography in 1986. 3D Systems creates product concept models, precision and functional prototypes, master patterns for tooling, as well as production parts for direct digital manufacturing. 3D Systems uses proprietary processes to fabricate physical objects using input from computer-aided design and manufacturing software, or 3D scanning and 3D sculpting devices. What is the relationship between 'z corporation' and 'rock hill'?
