Realize is currently enjoying all that AMUG 2016 (The Additive Manufacturing Users Group) has to offer but we are also feeling very honored this morning. Last night our BB8 prototype landed a runner up trophy in the Advanced Finishing contest. Congrats to our team and all the hard work that went into creating the Star Wars robot. We didn’t win first prize but the entries this year were all so amazing it’s hard to feel bad about it. We are just appreciative to be working and creating with the best in our industry. Our President, Todd Reese was on hand to accept the prestigious Dino Award. As a company, we feel this is one of the the best awards to receive in our industry and we are both humbled and appreciative to be honored by AMUG in this category.

The Distinguished INnovator Operator (DINO) Award is AMUG’s most prestigious honor. It is bestowed upon those with the highest levels of additive manufacturing expertise and a willingness to share that knowledge through contributions to AMUG, its members and the industry it represents.

We will have a full report on all the sights and sounds of AMUG 2016 next week.
