ENGINEERINGNET.EU -- As part of the celebrations for TCT Magazine's 20th year in print, readers were invited to nominate and vote for the Top 20 Most Influential Figures in the Additive Manufacturing industry.
A pioneer in his industry, Wilfried Vancraen has been developing breakthroughs in the medical and industrial applications of Additive Manufacturing (AM) at Materialise for more than 20 years.
Passionate about AM and firm in his belief that it can help create a better and healthier world, Wilfried is committed to using the technology to make positive changes in people’s lives.
By choosing him as the most influential figure in AM, other professionals in the industry have acknowledged Fried’s vision for this technology and Materialise’s success in bringing this vision to life under his leadership.
In the words of TCT Magazine Editor, James Woodcock, “Wilfried Vancraen is, in my opinion, a worthy winner – having met him several times, I am always struck by his thoughtful nature and quiet manner as much as his vision, passion and commitment to Materialise and the wider industry.”
Wilfried Vancraen, “I am honored to have been chosen the most influential figure in an industry that I have long believed has the power to change the world in a very positive way."
"To receive this incredible recognition from my peers lets me know that I am on the right path with my vision of changing people’s lives through AM and will motivate me, and in fact all of us at Materialise, to strive even harder to make this vision a daily reality in the work we do.”
