Generative manufacturing methods have advanced significantly over the
last few years. What began as Rapid Prototyping went through several
evolutionary stages to develop into today's Additive Manufacturing (AM).
The possibilities of this ground-breaking technology are impressive, but
are far from exhausted owing to a deficit of information.
This is about to change, however. Eleven leading AM system manufacturers
and suppliers, including voxeljet, have set themselves the goal of
raising awareness of Additive Manufacturing with comprehensive
information. The "Additive Manufacturing Industry Branding Initiative",
proposed by system manufacturer Materialise, focuses on targeted
communication strategies to be implemented in collaboration with an
agency. "With this joint initiative we intend to bring the advantages of
this technology to the attention of all potential users as quickly as
possible and step up its use", says Dr. Ingo Ederer, CEO of voxeljet AG.
