The finalists for the 2025 TCT Women in 3D Printing Innovator Award sponsored by EOS have been announced.
Sofie Magnusson, Clara Remacha, Aye Nyein San, Katie Weimer, and Jonné Messer were unveiled as this year's finalists following a global public nomination process and judging round led by TCT and Women in 3D Printing (WI3DP).
The award, now in its fifth year, is a joint collaboration between TCT and WI3DP which highlights the contributions of women inventors, researchers, adopters and advocators to the additive manufacturing industry.
Lisa Block, WI3DP Board Director, commented, “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 the finalists are dynamic women just makes it that much more exciting!”
The finalists were announced during a live panel session as part of a special TCT WI3DP Innovator Award Day event, which also featured talks from all four previous award recipients: Wai Yee Yeong, Professor and Chair, School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University Singapore; Eliana Fu, Business Development Manager, Aerospace at TRUMPF; Alba Gonzalez Alvarez, CEO and Founder at Xcure Surgical; and Brigitte de Vet, CEO at Materialise.
