The 3D Printing Industry Awards Gala Dinner

Tomorrow the 3D Printing Industry Awards will take place at Chelsea Old Town Hall, London. This week we have been busy putting together all the last minute touches to the event, ensuring a stellar experience for all our guests from across the industry.

The 3D Printing Industry Awards will be presented to the winners as selected by the most informed people in the 3D printing industry, our readers.

Over 200,000 votes have been counted, and the companies nominated for the 3D Printing Industry Awards represent almost a quarter of a trillion dollars by market capitalisation.

Attending the event are 3D printing designers, artists, software companies, hardware manufacturers and all the leading enterprises and individuals who make the 3D printing industry such a fascinating place.
