A career in 3D printing can appear challenging. So we’ve asked 9 professionals from the additive manufacturing industry to share their views on the industry, its future and to provide you with some inspiration for your 3D printing career.

Anuj, The Engineer: I am really inspired by the way GE is doing it!

Reza, The Consultant: Professor John Hart from MIT and The 3D Printing Handbook by Ben Redwood, Filemon Schöffer, Brian Garret.

Ajith, The Service Engineer: Bre Pettis. The way he has been pushing his brand, the Makerbot, into the common household is pretty inspiring.

Damien, The Support Engineer: André Luc Allanic.

Peter, The CPO: Learn to learn all lessons to be learned from established industries — SPC, QA, ERP, ETC.
