Formlabs announced the addition of Microsoft Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Chris Capossel to the company’s board of directors. The company believes it will benefit from Capossela’s “deep marketing knowledge, technical background and enthusiasm for 3D printing” as Formlabs continues its market expansion and showcase new 3D printing solutions with light-cured resins and powdered polymers.
