The 3D Printing Industry (3DPI), a trade publication for the additive manufacturing sector, has announced the launch of the 2024 3D Printing Industry Awards. This annual event recognizes excellence in 3D printing and has been highlighting individuals, innovations and companies that are driving the sector forward since its inception in 2016.
Voting is currently underway for this year’s awards. Professionals and enthusiasts are invited to submit their favorites in the various categories. This inclusive approach ensures that the awards reflect the diverse and dynamic nature of the industry. Voting will remain open until December 13, 2024.
In addition to the public nominations, the expertise of a specialist committee will be incorporated into the selection process. This committee consists of experienced professionals with nearly 2,000 years of combined knowledge in the field of additive manufacturing. Together with the public, the committee creates shortlists and selects the winners, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation process.
The 2024 shortlists include metal additive manufacturing applications such as SpaceX’s Raptor 3 engine, which addresses circular economy and supply chain resilience issues for critical metals. Other highlighted projects include hypersonic flight technology and NASA’s rotary detonation engine.
In addition, the awards honor individuals who are fostering communities and advancing the industry, such as Kimberly Gibson of America Makes, which strengthens collaboration between the public and private sectors, and Teula Bradshaw of the Sanjay Mortimer Foundation, which supports access to 3D printing resources for neurodiverse future engineers and developers.
The 2024 3D Printing Industry Awards will once again celebrate the diversity and innovation of the additive manufacturing sector. Interested parties can view the full nominations and further details on the official website and take part in the voting.
