MakerVerse, the additive manufacturing platform for sourcing industrial grade part<\/a>s on demand, has appointed Ward Ripmeester as the company\u2019s Chief Operations Officer. Ward Ripmeester brings a decade of additive manufacturing supply chain and operations experience to this newly created role.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m excited to be part<\/a> of what MakerVerse is building,\u201d said Ward Ripmeester. \u201cI truly believe in the platform model in the on-demand manufacturing industry. MakerVerse is uniquely positioned to add value to customers by navigating the complexity of a highly segmented, fast-growing market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ward Ripmeester <\/p>\n

Ward Ripmeester is experienced with start<\/a>-ups and scale-ups. Before joining MakerVerse, he was Director of Global Supply Chain at Shapeways. In that role, he managed a global distributed network of manufacturing part<\/a>ners in a fast-growing, innovative environment<\/a>. Ward Ripmeester worked at Shapeways for nearly a decade.

A vetted European-only supply chain with 700+ printers helps customers gain end-to-end fulfillment security and fast turnaround times.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to have Ward lead operations,\u201d said Dr. Markus Seibold, CEO of MakerVerse. \u201cWith our supply chain, we pride ourselves on providing fast lead times, guaranteed quality, and all the technologies needed for companies to bring additive manufacturing use cases to life. Ward is a perfect fit to help us scale in all those categories.\u201d<\/p>\n
