The 3D Printing Industry Awards are back. Now in the fourth year, the Awards celebrate the individuals, enterprises and technology leading the additive manufacturing sector.
The winners are selected by the most informed people in additive manufacturing – our readers.
Winning a 3D printing award is a two-stage process. First nominations, then voting. Anyone can make nominations across the 20 categories. Those with the most nominations will then be included in the published shortlists.
The winners will be revealed at a special event in November 2020.
The 2020 3D Printing Industry Awards are supported by our manufacturing partner Protolabs and event sponsors 3ecruit, AM Ventures, TÜV SÜD, and Marks & Clerk.
