Remembering Sanjay Mortimer: 1989 - 2021
-
e3d have just shared some devastating news:
It is with the heaviest of hearts that E3D are announcing the death of one of our founding directors, Sanjay Mortimer. He passed away on Saturday 27th November.
Sanjay was a legend in our industry and played a huge role in revolutionising FDM 3D printing. As a founding member of E3D, he was instrumental to all our early developments. As we grew to where we are today, he continued to play an important role in our engineering team.
Over the last 10 years he has supported the creation of a world-leading extrusion-system engineering team in preparation for E3D’s second decade. Sanjay’s team will deliver on our vision of changing the way humanity manufactures goods.
We will reflect on how we can celebrate a remarkable man. Dave and Josh believe that the spirit of this should be maintained with an endowment in Sanjay’s name to assist young engineers in achieving their goals
I am personally shocked and saddened to hear of Sanjay's death. He was a friend to us here at Duet3D, a remarkable engineer and he made a large and lasting difference to both the technology of 3d printing and our community.
My sincerest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues, he will be sorely missed.

@t3p3tony I really am shocked at that news.
I've only ever had good things to say about Sanjay and his passing will leave a big hole in the 3D printing industry.
RIP Sanjay -
Wow, that was really a shock.
RIP Sanjay -
He will be missed.
-
Good lord! That is truly shocking news. He was only a young chap and hadn't he recently married?
-
Damn. He was so excited about where things were going. This is devastating.
-
The news just sounds unbelievable, he was so enthusiast to show us E3D's projects and innovations during the interviews.
RIP Sanjay

He appears in this RepRap reunion picture:

In his recent interviews with Vector3d and Nero3DP he seems to be jittery or non focused to a point that I stopped watching in the middle. RIP.

I got the chance to meet him at MRRF as the Duet booth was beside the E3D booth. Great guy. I'm stunned.
-
Sad news. I always enjoyed listening to him talk about what E3D were doing with extruders and beyond. Too young
-
Absolutely saddened by this news, Sanjay was an inspiration and evangelist for the community. He will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family and friends.
