The arrangement will provide a US presence for our PostPro3D machine with a company who is able to print parts on site then demonstrate and showcase our technology to wide range of potential customers. Having the support of Midwest provides a great springboard for future US sales … Steve’s wealth of additive manufacturing and commercial experience will strengthen the board significantly.”

This partnership will give AMT direct access to the world’s largest 3D printing market as the two companies will work together to market and sell PostPro3D machines, made by AMT, in the USA.
