Additive Industries Presents Finalists for Metal Additive Manufacturing Challenge 2017 AM Software

by Design

Netherlands based metal 3D printer manufacturer Additive Industries announced the finalists of Additive World Design for Additive Manufacturing Challenge 2017 in two categories: professional or student designer. From a group of 76 contestants, almost double in comparison with last edition, 6 finalists were selected. ‘This year we have seen that submissions showed more than just topology optimization or light weight design. The designers took a broader view on design for additive manufacturing and tailored their designs to eliminate manufacturing difficulties, reduce the number of parts, minimize assembly or lower logistics costs, often combined. This clearly underlines the trend that industrial additive manufacturing is maturing’, says Daan Kersten, co-founder and CEO of Additive Industries. The redesigns were submitted from all over the world (a.o. USA, the Netherlands, Germany, UK, Spain, India, Russia and Italy). The selected designs are from the different fields, such as advanced food processing, aeronautics industry, automotive industry, high-tech and consumer markets. On Wednesday evening March 15, during the Additive World Awards Dinner in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, Erik de Bruijn (chairman of the jury) will announce the winners of the Design for Additive Manufacturing Challenge 2017.
