We Expand Our 3D Printing Platform to China

i.materialise is all about making 3D printing accessible to everyone: designers, inventors, students, artists, and makers around the globe. That’s why we are happy to announce that Materialise and Golden Laser have signed a collaboration agreement which will see the i.materialise platform powering Golden Laser’s upcoming 3D printing service in China.

The agreement opens the i.materialise platform to China’s Golden Laser, a global manufacturer of laser cutting, engraving and marking systems. This collaboration will make sure that even more people will have access to easy 3D printing solutions and will help in expanding the reach of this amazing technology into traditional manufacturing markets.

The agreement was signed in the presence of a delegation of Belgian government officials, including the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Didier Reynders and Secretary of State for Foreign Trade, Pieter De Crem

While Golden Laser’s upcoming 3D printing service in China, 3DEazer, will run on the i.materialise platform, 3D printing will take place at Golden Laser’s Additive Manufacturing Center Service Bureau in Wuhan, China, bringing production closer to users in the region.

“Helping people incorporate the additional functionality and complexity offered by Additive Manufacturing into their products is what i.materialise is all about, and this collaboration agreement with Golden Laser will create the opportunity to help even more people and businesses materialize their great ideas,” said Peter Leys, Executive Chairman of Materialise.

Liang Wei, Chairman of Golden Laser, noted, “Through this collaboration with the i.materialise 3D printing platform, we aim to offer our customers options for product manufacturing that were previously unavailable to them.”
