The 3D Printing Industry Awards return for 2021!
Since we first announced the 3D Printing Industry Awards in 2016, our reader and industry-driven accolades have become a regular and well-loved feature on the additive manufacturing calendar.
The 3D Printing Industry Awards have always been selected by the most informed people in additive manufacturing – our readers. By this I mean, the entire process is governed by what you tell us. Therefore, as illustrated by the timetable at the end of the page, we select winners in two phases. First, we ask that you make nominations. From these nominations shortlists will be prepared, and in the second phase, readers vote upon the shortlists.
As in previous years, the Awards are divided into categories. These categories are designed to represent the broad span of applications of 3D printing, the range of technology used in our industry, and also to acknowledge the companies and people that make our industry such a fulfilling area to work in.
The 2021 3D Printing Industry Awards
Our hopes were high for an event last year, however it soon became apparent that the industry’s, and the world’s, priorities had a much more critical focus. With this in mind, we will include any previously cast nominations and add them to the nominations for the 2021 Awards.
For the 2021 3D Printing Industry Awards we will be staging the event online. We hope this will give more people the opportunity to attend, especially given the international nature of the additive manufacturing community.
The Awards will be live-streamed on our new YouTube channel. Be sure to subscribe to receive notifications.
Those who reach the shortlist will be invited to a dedicated live streaming channel so winners can address the audience.
