3D Systems expands technology leadership team
3D printer manufacturer 3D Systems has expanded its executive leadership team with the appointment of industry veteran Dr. David Leigh to the role of Chief Technology Officer for Additive Manufacturing. Leigh will be tasked with expanding and accelerating application development and product innovation for the company’s production-scale additive manufacturing offerings.
Leigh brings more than three decades of experience in the additive manufacturing sector to the role, having previously served as the Chief Technology Officer and Chief Operations Officer for EOS and founded Harvest Technologies, a pioneer firm in end-use parts for aerospace that was acquired by Stratasys in 2014.
The expansion of 3D Systems’ technology leadership capacity is a reflection of the acceleration of additive manufacturing adoption across the healthcare and industrial markets, the company says. Off the back of Leigh’s arrival, 3D Systems Co-founder Chuck Hull announced he is to increase his emphasis on biotechnology as Chief Technology Officer for Regenerative Medicine, having achieved several recent breakthroughs in this field.
“David will be an outstanding asset to our leadership team and 3D Systems,” said Dr. Jeffrey Graves, President and CEO of 3D Systems. “He is a recognized leader in additive technology with a track record of building high-performance teams that drive innovation and product development. Chuck, who pioneered 3D printing, is now taking us into the new frontier of regenerative medicine – a market that will change our company and the world in the years ahead. There has never been such an exciting tie for our company and our industry.”
3D Printing Industry recently hosted a panel discussion about Regenerative Medicine. You can watch the replay below.
Ultimaker appoints Jürgen von Hollen as CEO
Dutch 3D printer manufacturer Ultimaker has appointed Jürgen von Hollen to the role of CEO, in light of outgoing CEO Jos Burger announcing his retirement and transitioning to the company’s Supervisory Board.
Von Hollen brings extensive international experience within fast-growing technology industries, having previously served as President and CEO at Universal Robots where he played a key role in growing and establishing the company as a market leader. He has also held leadership positions at the likes of Bilfinger SE, Daimler-Chrysler Services, T-Systems, and Pentair.
“I am very excited to be joining the Ultimaker team, who has developed a leading product, strong business model and has a very talented team,” said von Hollen. “I believe this uniquely positions Ultimaker to take full advantage of a $35 billion 3D printing market and outgrow this market, which itself is expected to grow at 20% per annum. Ultimaker has the ability to enable dynamic innovation, flexible manufacturing and delivers great productivity improvements.
“Together, we want to transform organizations and Ultimaker is in a great position to grow as the leader.”
6K appoints Mary Cronin Vice President of Government Affairs
Specialist 3D printing materials developer 6K has added Mary Cronin to its executive leadership team in the role of Vice President of Government Affairs. Cronin’s extensive experience in US public policy, state and federal government relations, in addition to her knowledge of local, state, federal, non-profit and corporate outreach, will aid 6K in driving sustainability, national security and supply chain, the firm said.
Cronin will navigate and build relationships with the US Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), the Department of Energy, and the Department of Defense among other bodies, will bolster the growing number of SLA programs 6K has been awarded.
“Issues like battery manufacturing in the US, of which there is near zero capability currently, and securing critical elements like titanium domestically, pose a national threat to the country,” said Aaron Bent, 6K CEO. “Our UniMelt production platform can be a key driving force in solving these issues. Having Mary leading these initiatives for 6K with the highest levels of government will give us a strong voice in DC and uncover more strategic program opportunities.”

DOST launches Philippines’ first AM hub
Rounding off with facility news, and the Philippines’ Department of Science and Technology Metals Industry Research and Development Center (DOST-MIRDC) has unveiled the country’s first, “world-class” hub for additive manufacturing.
Named the AMCen, the $10 million advanced manufacturing center will be equipped with a state-of-the-art prototyping laboratory aimed at increasing the technological readiness, business sophistication and innovative capacity of the Philippines’ manufacturing sector. According to DOST Secretary Fortunato T. de la Peña, additive manufacturing will play a crucial role in increasing the country’s competitiveness as it gears up for Industry 4.0.
He told the Manila Bulletin: “The DOST’s long-term vision is to be the provider of world-class scientific, technological, and innovative solutions that will lead to higher productivity and better quality of life, benefiting the Filipino people. By 2022, the DOST envisions to be a leading Science, Technology, and Innovation Hub in the ASEAN region.
“Building the AMCen is a crucial strategy in achieving this goal. Today, it will go down in the history of manufacturing in the country as a landmark milestone.”
