IGO3D, the first European\u00a0 distributor of additive manufacturing solutions, masters a wide range of 3D printing technologies<\/a>. This year, the company was voted the Growth Champion 2021 by FOCUS Business magazine for the second year in a row. This award reflects company’s development and its growing influence in Europe, despite the health crisis affecting sectors of activity worldwide. The magazine awards a prize the 500 German companies with the strongest growth in turnover. Good news for the German additive manufacturing market!<\/span><\/p>\n

The pandemic has inevitably had a significant impact on the world economy, causing many companies to experience drastic drops in turnover and even forcing some to go out of business. However, despite this, the 3D printing market has been able to perform well, notably showing its agility in responding to emergency needs, mainly in the medical field. Additive manufacturing was able to repair broken supply chains<\/a>, by promoting local production, independent of foreign suppliers. As a result, the entire community was able to manufacture medical devices of all kinds, both to protect health workers and save lives. IGO3D was no exception to this and mobilized its resources to 3D print numerous personal protective equipment (PPE). At the same time, it led various projects that supported its growth while proving the agility of 3D printing. This has enabled them to receive this honor.<\/span><\/p>\n
