Description
Thanks to our start-up friendly culture and crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo, it can be easy to forget about some of the original 3D printing companies that have helped lay the foundation for accessible and low-cost 3D printing. Among others, Materialise has been at the forefront of 3D printing from the get-go. Headquartered in Leuven, Belgium with branches worldwide, Materialise has been actively developing and providing software solutions and sophisticated 3D printing services in a wide variety of industries, including healthcare, automotive, aerospace, art and design and consumer products since it was founded in 1990. Now, nearly 30 years later, the company continues to stay innovative in a field that has drastically changed multiple industries for the better.
