Munich-based company air up has kicked off a new healthy drink trend by selling bottles that flavour water using a principle called ‘retronasal smell’.

In this interview, Tim Jäger – one of the five founders and current CTO of the company – talks about coming up with the idea, the technology, and how air up used its Form 3 and Form 3L stereolithography (SLA) 3D printers to create detailed functional prototypes to perfect the design.
