Who Are the Influential Women Entrepreneurs in 3D Printing?

Taking place every year on March 8th, International Women’s Day was declared by the United Nations to be the day to celebrate women’s achievements around the World. Given that many still suffer from disparity in the workforce, inequal wages and more, it is more critical than ever to recognize the importance of women in our own sector. For that reason, this year 3Dnatives wanted to put the spotlight especially on entrepreneurs and asked our readers to help us identify influential women entrepreneurs in the field of additive manufacturing. Take a look at the final list which is in alphabetical order and learn more about some of women picked from around the world.

Beatriz Biel – Founder of Detresdé

One of the most important barriers that companies encounter when adopting additive manufacturing in their activity is the lack of knowledge. More and more training courses and schools are emerging that offer classes on these new technologies. In order to democratize learning in 3D printing, Beatriz Biel has founded Detresdé. Initially dedicated to offering additive manufacturing services, Detresdé is currently focused on providing all kinds of technological courses and training. The entrepreneur thus created Detresdé Academy, no less than a year ago, where any user can access all kinds of knowledge about additive manufacturing. In addition, Beatriz also volunteers for Women in 3D Printing, as an ambassador in Zaragoza, carrying out different events to raise awareness of the possibilities of the technology, as well as to encourage more women to join this industry.

Nadine Briallon – Founder of 3Desserts Graphiques

After several professional experiences, Nadine Briallon decided in 2016 to launch 3Desserts Graphics. Located in Lyon, in the heart of Foodtech and Frenchfab, the company designs and distributes 3D food printers certified to CE (EU) standards. The company’s flagship product is the solution named L’Impressionnante. Capable of customizing patterns and decorations on desserts or sculptures, the machine is mainly aimed at the food industry, such as pastry chefs, chocolate makers and caterers. Nadine Briallon and 3Desserts Graphiques also offer events around food customization and food design. A success for the entrepreneur, who has already received several awards.
