And it’s a wrap! We are back at this time of year where we need to pause, reflect, and create/rethink a vision for ourselves of where we want to go – as a person or as a company – and who we want to be.

In the AM industry, a lot (has) happened and a lot still needs to be done. While many of us agree with the fact that 2021 is the year of recovery across all industries, Formnext reminded us of something more important: we need to be well surrounded to do business in this industry.

So cheers to those people with whom you invest the extra mile to advance AM to the next level, cheers to those who remain in the shadow – our invisible strength -, cheers to you, simply.

Season’s greetings from the 3D ADEPT Media Team. Stay healthy
