Top 10 Stories of 2015

2015 has been a big year for Additive Manufacturing. We expanded into a bigger size and a larger folio for our print publication. On the digital side of things, we’ve launched a brand new website and boosted our presence on social media. And I won’t forget to mention hosting our second successful Additive Manufacturing Conference, the first time the event has been held outside of IMTS.

We’re grateful for the people we’ve met, facilities we’ve visited and the stories we’ve been privileged to tell over the past year. And for you, our readers. Here’s a look back at the stories that you found most interesting this year:
