Gideon Levy Honored for His Contribution to Additive Manufacturing Industry

Orlando -- The Society of Manufacturing Engineers' Rapid Technologies and Additive Manufacturing Community presented Gideon Levy with its first Industry Achievement Award.

Dr. Levy led a team in the development of new, groundbreaking selective laser sintering materials, the SME said. "In doing so, he addressed key barriers, which resulted in the greater utilization of the technology. Users within the industry are constantly demanding more and more quality materials. Levy's team answered that call by making advances that delivered a combination of processing characteristics and quality," the group noted in bestowing the honor on Dr. Levy.

Established in 2008, the RTAM Industry Achievement Award was developed to recognize an individual, team or company for outstanding accomplishments that have had significant impact within the additive manufacturing industry or in any industry through the application of additive manufacturing technologies. Winners are selected with consideration for the scope and scale of benefits realized and the potential future impact their work will have on the industry, SME said in a news release.

According to SME, Dr. Levy holds 20 patents and has published 150 scientific and technical articles, was the 2007 recipient of the prestigious VR@P award in the field of virtual rapid prototyping and was named one of Time-Compression Technologies' (UK) 25 Most Influential People in Rapid Manufacturing.
