When we invited readers to make their nominations for the 1st Annual 3D Printing Industry Awards, we could not have imagined just how popular the event would be. Over the festive period we have been inundated with responses and now have many nominations across the 20 different categories.
Nominations will be open for several more weeks, but that’s no reason to delay making your selection now.
Reviewing the responses so far provides a fascinating overview of how 3DPI readers see the current 3D printing industry landscape. Here is a brief sample of the nominations so far.
3D printer of the year
Carbon’s M1 3D printer and their CLIP technology, the Formlabs Form 2, Lulzbot’s Taz 6 and the Prusa i3 mk2 are all popular nominations. Other nominations for 3D printer of the year include the Zortrax M200 and Mcor’s ARKe. HP’s Multi Jet Fusion Jet Fusion 3D printing solution is also popular with readers. Let us know who gets your nomination for the 3D printer of the year.
3D printing startup
Carbon are joined by Desktop Metal, 3D Hubs, Micron3DP, Nexa3D, ONO3D, Tend.ai and a long list of others in the running for the 3D printing startup of the year. Other nominations for the most noteworthy additive manufacturing startup company include CoKreeate, Collider and Next Dynamics. You can make your nomination for the 3D printing startup here.

AMUG, Formnext, Rapid, MakerFaire and the National Forum on Additive Manufacturing, Education and Training are some of your nominations in the 3D printing event category. Also nominated are CES, the Inside 3D printing events and numerous others. Let us know your nomination for the 3D printing event category here.
If you’re looking for more inspiration regarding who to nominate then the writers at 3D Printing Industry took a look at some of their own favourite additive manufacturing stories from the past year. You can read what our writers thought about 3D printing in 2016 and what they are looking forward to from 3D printing in 2017 here, here and here.
3DPI also took a more detailed monthly review of 3D printing in 2016. You can revisit our look back at the year in 3D printing by following these links.
