Fundraising for Italy with Spaghetti Amatriciana

The earthquake in Central Italy on the 24th of August has had devastating consequences for families and towns in the region. Our Italian colleagues were compelled to do something to help, which resulted in a spur of the moment fundraiser on wednesday. The money will go towards rebuilding the area, as a large amount of cultural heritage and family homes have been destroyed by the earthquake. Inspired by the lovely village of Amatrice – one of the places which was hit the worst – Account Manager for Materialise Italy, Alessio Esposti, decided to make Spaghetti Amatriciana for everyone at our headquarters in Leuven, Belgium.

The Opening of Our Metal Facility in Bremen: Retracing the Steps of the Past

In 1988, a young engineer named Fried Vancraen visited a research facility in Bremen Germany, and while there, saw one of the first 3D printers up and running in Europe. For the entire drive back to Leuven, his mind was racing with the applications that could one day be made possible by what this early-stage technology had to offer. Just one year later, Fried did an FFF funding round (friends, fools and family), purchased his very own 3D printer, and opened a small prototyping company called Materialise.

Charlotte’s Internship at Materialise: Leading the Baobab Express

You’ve heard the cliché of the coveted internship that turns out to actually be merely coffee-bringing and document-printing with a few hours of uninspired sitting at a desk. Charlotte’s internship, however, was nothing like that. In the last semester of her Masters studies in management, Charlotte Gréant joined Materialise as an intern to take charge of a social engagement project in Benin, West Africa: the Baobab Express. The Baobab Express provides safe, reliable and comfortable transportation services to Beninese people, filling in a gap left by sparse public transportation and prohibitively expensive private transport. Charlotte tells us how the Baobab Express project reached public approval and financial success after meeting an initially tentative reception.

Benin Summer School 2015: What We Learned from Organizing a Scholarship Summer School in Papané

In early August, I reached Benin with my partner Lotte, Materialise CEO Fried Vancraen and Executive Vice President Hilde Ingelaere. The goal for the next month was to conduct a summer school at the hospital in Papané, with 17 students—the best performers from four high schools in the region—and guide them through the developmental projects they had chosen to work on. At the end of three weeks, three students would be chosen to receive a scholarship to aid their further education. Looking back at my notes over the following month, I think we had as much to learn as the students did.
