Our journey of meaningful innovation
When Materialise was founded in 1990, our idea was radical. We’ve remained at the forefront of 3D printing technology ever since, empowering our customers to solve real-world challenges and innovate the solutions of the future across a wide range of industries.
Making a difference, together
Materialise was born from a desire to make a difference using 3D printing — a desire that is refueled every day by our customers around the world. Our shared passion for sustainable progress and meaningful innovation drives us to push boundaries and set new standards together.
