A Change of Leadership at 3Dnatives

3Dnatives announces the departure of its CEO, Alexandre Martel, who founded the company and headed it for over ten years. This news comes almost two years after the company was acquired by Society of Plastics Engineering (SPE). This acquisition enabled the American organization to extend its expertise to the additive manufacturing sector. It now entrusts the leadership of 3Dnatives to Filippos Voulpiotis, Chief Business Officer since the end of 2018.

Alexandre Martel launched 3Dnatives at the end of 2013 and devoted over a decade to developing the company, first in France, then internationally, starting with Spain, Germany, the English-speaking market and finally Italy. A strategy of expansion that has paid off handsomely, with 3Dnatives attracting over a million visitors a month worldwide, and supporting industry professionals of all kinds.

Alexandre commented, “After more than a decade building 3Dnatives, the time has come for me to step back and let a highly dedicated team write the next chapter of its story. It has been an incredible journey, shaped by insightful exchanges and meaningful collaborations with professionals across the 3D printing industry. I am deeply grateful to our clients and partners for their trust and support over the years. I have no doubt that 3Dnatives is in a strong position to continue supporting additive manufacturing companies worldwide, helping them promote their products and services to our engaged audience of industrial professionals.”
