LONDON (Alliance News) - Inkjet technology company Xaar PLC said Wednesday it has strengthened its 3D Printing business by appointing Neil Hopkinson as director of 3D Printing, joining in March.
Hopkinson is credited as a pioneer of 3D printing technology as a manufacturing process, publishing the first work proposing the use of 3D printing for series manufacture.
Xaar said that Hopkinson will lead a team focused on developing high speed sintering technology, a 3D printing process, as well as other additive manufacturing processes.
"It is clear that inkjet printing will be an important enabling technology as the 3D printing sector scales up to be an integral part of mainstream manufacturing. As a leading supplier to printing equipment manufacturers all over the world, Xaar is in a strong position to accelerate the adoption of HSS technology within a number of key applications," Hopkinson said in a statement.
"We are excited about the potential for HSS and other additive manufacturing technologies to expand Xaar's horizons and exploit new opportunities," said Xaar Chief Executive Officer Doug Edwards in a statement.
