The 2025 TCT Awards saw the fifth TCT Women in 3D Printing Innovator Award presented to Jonné Messer, global additive manufacturing lead at Ford Motor Company.
The company will work with Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) and Fleet Readiness Center East (FRC East) to explore and characterise advanced materials tailored for military flight hardware over a four-year period.
It follows a lengthy validation process that took more than a year, after a contract manufacturer supplying parts to Honeywell expressed an interest in using 6K’s metal powders.
The 2025 TCT Awards ceremony saw Wilhelm Meiners, inventor of the Laser-Powder-Bed Fusion of Metals (PBF-LB/M) process inducted into the prestigious TCT Hall of Fame.
The winners of 11 technology and applications awards were announced, alongside the winner of the Women in 3D Printing Innovator Award, the Sanjay Mortimer Rising Star Award and four new Inductees to the prestigious TCT Hall of Fame.
