Wood currently serves as Director of Global Business Development at ExOne, where he is responsible for the commercialization of ExOne’s 2020 AMUG DINO Award Recipientsdirect binder jet systems, which print metal, ceramics and more.  

Over the years, Wood has worked extensively with a large number of universities, government entities and commercial organizations, who perform research, development and manufacturing using ExOne technology. He has been active in the 3D printing industry for more than 15 years. 

Wood has been with ExOne since the company’s inception within Extrude Hone, prior to its spin out of ExOne as its own entity. He has held various other positions at ExOne, including Director for Direct Materials, Director – ExTec, ProMetal General Manager, and head of North America Operations.

“I am truly honored to be selected as one of this year’s DINO award recipients, and I congratulate the other honorees,” Wood said. “There are many talented and knowledgeable professionals in the additive manufacturing space and to be recognized as one of them is very humbling. I am also very thankful that ExOne has been a strong supporter of AMUG and my activities with them.”

”We are extremely proud of Bob and all of his accomplishments and contributions over the years to both ExOne and to AMUG,” added John Hartner, ExOne CEO. “Bob brings invaluable additive manufacturing knowledge and expertise to ExOne, and is he very deserving of this award.”

Due to the postponement of the 2020 AMUG conference, the awards were delivered to recipients and presented during a virtual awards ceremony. Through direct contributions of time and energy, this year’s honorees have a long history in additive manufacturing and years of contributions to the AM industry and AMUG. AMUG recently announced the award recipients via a press release on its website.
