Official Collaboration Between China 3D Printing Technology Industry Alliance and Materialise

On the day UK PM David Cameron is leading a trade delegation to China, Materialise has announced its own direct Chinese link. The company has confirmed that its collaboration with the China Technology Industry Alliance has been made official, following a formal signing ceremony at Materialise’s HQ in Leuven, Belgium last week. The collaboration is seen as a way of strengthening communication and cooperation within the 3D printing industry across continents and the formal event marks an important moment at the start of a structural collaboration between Materialise and all players currently active in the Chinese market.

Materialise CEO, Fried Vancraen, commented on the partnership: “Materialise has long been active in the Chinese market and although we have supported many companies over the years, we were still somewhat on our own. Now, as members of the China Technology Industry Alliance, we will be working together with all of the major players in the Chinese market, with the shared goal of unleashing ’s full potential in China in a sustainable and healthy manner.”

Executive Chairman of the China Technology Industry Alliance, Luo Jun, was also pleased with the partnership and highlighted the benefits of improved collaboration and communication between players in China’s industry and pioneers in the industry, such as Materialise. He also took this occasion to invite Materialise, and others in the industry, to take part in the 2014 World Technology Industry Conference and Exhibition, to be held in Qingdao from June 19–22, 2014.
