The 3D Printing Industry Awards are designed to be a reflection of what people are actually using to 3D print: including a look at the 3D scanning tools, the 3D design software, plus the other equipment and materials favored by our readers.
We’re also asking for your thoughts on the enterprises, innovations and people who make the 3D Printing Industry such a fantastic place to work.
And you told us!
Voting is now open in the 3D Printing Industry Awards, and so far over 3,000 of you have voted. But, we didn’t want to restrict voting to the companies with the most nominations.
This is why in each category, below the 4 names on the shortlist, there is a space. This space is for wildcard votes.
In this article we take a look at some of the wildcard votes across several of the most tightly contested 3D Printing Industry Award categories.
