WI3DP and the TIPE Conference
Women in 3D Printing is a global organisation committed to promoting, supporting, and inspiring women working in the industry. Founded by Nora Toure, WI3DP has grown into a community, connecting women across the globe to foster collaboration and innovation.
“The TCT WI3DP Innovator Award Day is more than just a celebration of individual achievements, it’s a showcase of the transformative power of diversity and innovation within additive manufacturing. At Women in 3D Printing, we believe in amplifying the voices and contributions of women in our industry, and this event is a testament to the remarkable talent shaping the future of 3D printing,” said Toure.
The TIPE Conference, organised by WI3DP, focuses on four key themes: Technology, Industry, People, and Economics. TIPE says these themes underscore the impact of AM across different sectors and highlight the innovative spirit of its contributors.
Lisa Block, Board Director at the TIPE Conference said: “This award is the epitome of all this industry represents. Innovation, talent, and excellence! The AM community employs some of the best that manufacturing has to offer and the fact that the finalists are dynamic women just makes it that much more exciting!”
The TCT Women in 3D Printing Innovator Award
The TCT WI3DP Innovator Award, sponsored by EOS, is a prestigious accolade presented as part of the TCT Awards. TCT says this award recognises individuals who have demonstrated excellence and innovation in the field, driving forward what is possible with 3D printing. The announcement of the finalists will kickstart the public vote to determine the winner. The winner will then be celebrated at the TCT Awards ceremony on the 4th June 2025.
“The nominations for the TCT Women in 3D Printing Innovator Award never fail to bring to our attention the trailblazing, and often unsung work being done by women inventors, researchers, adopters and advocators in AM. Every year, there’s at least one submission where I find myself asking ‘Why didn’t I know about this person!’,” said Laura Griffiths, Head of Content at TCT. “This collaboration with Women in 3D Printing has always been about celebrating the achievements of women in the AM community. What better way to do that than by bringing together all of our previous award recipients to share their industry knowledge under the key themes of the TIPE 3D Printing Conference and welcoming our next wave of innovators.”
