“I am truly honored to be selected as one of this year’s DINO award recipients, and I congratulate the other honorees,” Wood said. “There are many talented and knowledgeable professionals in the additive manufacturing space and to be recognized as one of them is very humbling. I am also very thankful that ExOne has been a strong supporter of AMUG and my activities with them.”

”We are extremely proud of Bob and all of his accomplishments and contributions over the years to both ExOne and to AMUG,” added John Hartner, ExOne CEO. “Bob brings invaluable additive manufacturing knowledge and expertise to ExOne, and is he very deserving of this award.”

Due to the postponement of the 2020 AMUG conference, the awards were delivered to recipients and presented during a virtual awards ceremony.
