Money talks. So, with inflation, interest rates, energy prices, materials, and goods and services all increasing, looking after your hard-earned capital has never been more important. Reducing the total cost of ownership of your products while affordably creating complex but versatile products is a smart way to boost revenue and gain a competitive advantage. And that’s where AM comes into play. Here are four ways 3D printing can solve the cost and complexity puzzle many AM companies face without affecting operational efficiency. https://mtls.am/4glqWoI   #ComplexAMParts #CutProductionCosts #3DPrintingSolutions #Sustainable3DPrinting

Meet Niklas Hansmann!🤝 He’s been on a unique journey at Materialise. He joined our Metal Competence Center in Germany fresh from university🎓 and has grown with the office, seeing it develop from a start-up to a full-fledged production site and a key component of our manufacturing business. 🏭 During this period, he gradually moved out of his comfort zone, doing multiple roles until he found his calling as a Sales Engineer for metal 3D printing. Niklas’s personal development is a joy to behold. And we appreciate that he’s grown with us and the Metal Competence Center to make it the tour de force it is today! 🚀 He’s a prime example of how our employees constantly strive to be the best they can be — and how the right support can make a difference in a person’s career.

In October, our Ukrainian colleagues organized their third annual Charity Week at Materialise Ukraine. A tradition that started in 2022, the event aims to support our colleagues currently mobilized and fighting for Ukraine. A huge shoutout to everyone who took part and the group who helped make it happen. This year’s highlights included: - An online marketplace where employees could buy and sell various goods and services, including handcrafted items  - A charity collection where children’s items, pet food, and other objects were either donated to charitable foundations or sold, with the proceeds going to the Ukrainian resistance  - Educational workshops for employees, such as “waste sorting and recycling,” “prosthetics and inclusion,” “meeting with colleague-defenders,” and “AI direction”  - A bake sale at Materialise HQ in Leuven, Belgium, to raise additional funds    Charity Week at Materialise Ukraine remains a vital event for us. Not only does it support our mobilized colleagues, but it also strengthens the bond within our Ukrainian office. This uplifting initiative showcases our Ukrainian colleagues’ resilience and positivity, which is truly inspiring. We want to thank them for their continued effort, endurance, and strength. #MaterialiseUkraine #ChartityWeekMaterialiseUkraine  #SupportColleaguesInUkraine #WeStandTogether #StandWithUkraine 

Sustainability is a key part of our mission and shared vision to create a better and healthier world — and we’re always looking for ways to reduce our carbon emissions. So, we’re delighted that through collaboration and partnerships with HP and our suppliers, we switched to a carbon-reduced PA 12, resulting in a 46% reduction in our emissions compared to the regular PA 12! This change sits beside other initiatives to reduce raw material emissions, such as optimizing our production processes and reusing or repurposing powder to give it an alternative life. This carbon-reduced powder is vital to meet our near-term target of reducing our CO2 emissions by 55% by 2029.  It’s an action that complements other actions, such as transitioning to renewable electricity in our production sites and most of our offices and using software solutions in our workflows that minimize scrape and material consumption.
